Recycling Some Bike Humour



There was a time when I really enjoyed bicycling. I'd bike for hours following the bicycle paths throughout our region.

But those days are gone and I kind if miss it.

I'm not giving you the gears.

Lest you think I mis-spoke, I wouldn't do that.

However, given my health these days I'd probably tire just biking around the block.

And I'd be so thirsty I'd never be able to pedal past the pub. After all, I know how to handle bars.

Get a grip. I'm just kidding.

I wouldn't wheelie stop at the pub.

When I bike I carry an edge tool with me. Seems odd I know but you can never be too sure when an axle come in handy.

This post has kinda run out of puns, hasn't it? I guess we've sort of derailed here.

Oh, well. It would't be the first time I've back-pedalled.

I just wish you were going to be biking in California! Sigh.

Hee Hee. Very good, Uber-Punster!


Around here, we need bike humor. We get a lot of cyclists that ride on our 2-lane country roads during commuting times. It's scary. I have the privilege of being able to ride mid-day when there is less traffic. We have a few paths but not near enough and most involve stopping for major intersections.



Last summer, we were in Colorado for vacation. We took our bikes and rode on their lovely trails that actually get you somewhere!


I'm sorry to hear that you aren't up to cycling anymore.

I think I might be able to muster up enough energy to bicycle to the local pub.

You and me both, Linda. Double sigh.

It may be just as well. Although we have plenty of bike paths and bike lanes on roads the majority of bikers continue to ride in the street where it's most dangerous. Last week I saw a guy in a motorized wheelchair travelling down the road. And the other day, on a bike path, where pedestrians and bikers share the route, I saw a couple on motorized scooters. I guess I'll confine myself to walking around the block.

Okay, I'll meet you there. But I'm walking.

You could always stop at a restaurant and dine a mo' and if it's early enough you could always get some break-fast.

If you rode more, you may be less tired. Or more tired. It's a vicious cycle.
Cheryl said…
With your blood sugar problems you'd probably end up bonking before you reached the paths. I'll bet you were hell on wheels in your younger years. Ever catch some air or lead a breakaway?
nonamedufus said…
Oh, quit riding me, Shawn.
nonamedufus said…
You had me at bonking.

I refuse to leave a comment.

Fine, if that's the path you choose to take, Indigo.

30 Days of Photos III #4 Sour

Check out Ziva's Inferno for the rest of today's photos.

My Back Pages - November

I know, I know, I know I should have reported in before now. But sometimes real life just gets in the way. I attempted 5 books in November. I say attempted because I slapped a big DNF (did not finish) on Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. I just can't seem to get into this guy. It's the second or third of his I've given up on, Not so the other four, starting with a biography of Stephen Stills called Change Partners. This followed by a hilarious biography of the guy responsible for National Lampoon called A Stupid and Futile Gesture - How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever. I ended the month reading yet another biography, this one of the man behind Rolling Stone magazine,. It was called Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine. A fascinating read. So last month I hit the magic number 50 I'd imagined for myself back in January. If I roll this month into my yearly total I'm at 54 books. And I still hav...

30 Days of Writing - Day #1 - Cheese

Well, here we go again folks.
