Great story Leah,
One thing you might tell your friend is that there is a best bike for the
task at hand. Don't ride a race bike unless you are racing or need to race

between going for a ride on 559 X 28 mm tires or 700C X 61 mm tires ...)

How Patrick,
Well, I did warn you to use discretion in reading this account. And while I did
poke fun, the point wasn’t to laugh about people riding what they want. It is
to illustrate (using humor) how the culture has taken the simplicity of a bike
ride and sucked every drop of enjoyment out
The description of first seeing the shorts is..well..I can't bring myself to
quote it, but this was spectacular! You're good at the story-telling thing,
Leah :-)
