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.

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.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy!  You know what happens on Imagination D
