30 miles on a 2 speed

Sunday was spent biking the Baltimore Annapolis Trail.

Mostly flat with gradual hills.  While the peeps I was with had multi geared road bikes, I took up the rear in my two gear Marin Hamilton 29er.  I pedaled longer and harder than my friends who could change their gear at the flip of a paddle or switch.  All in all a great ride and an even better work-out.

What's with the Lance Armstrong wanna be's?  DO YOU have to dress in all lycra?  Do you have to spend money on specialized clothes, when normal clothes work just as well?  It's not like it is a time trial or a mountain stage of the Giro d'Italia.  Why do Americans feel the need to wear sport appropriate clothing to the particular sport they are partaking in?  Just because you watch the Tour and casually bike on the weekends, does not require you to put on the "uniform". I understand that some sports do require special equipment, but last I checked scuba gear is not required for biking... SHit brother just roll up your right pant leg so your pants don't get caught in the gear...

I am sick an tired of seeing all the overweight Lance Armstrong wanna be's cycling on the trails of Maryland and the District.


But yeah anyway.  All you need are two gears and a rolled up right pant leg.

Leggings as pants

Never should leggings EVER ever EVEr be considered as pants.

No one should have to be subjected, especially in the workplace, to you in leggings.  We honestly do not want to have look at the unflattering bulges, dimples and pock marks that can clearly be seen underneath your 'painted' body covering.

They aren't pants, never were pants and never will be pants PERIOD

Yours kindly,

Mighty!!!
