Good morning everyone. Off to work. Remind me why this is better than unemployment? (That's a joke.)


Free shoes. That is all.

(This is not a joke)


Lucky you, DIxie. I have to buy mine.

Put it in cruise and take a little nap. Could almost work here between Grand Forks and Fargo.

Whenever I am asked why I joined the RAF:

To learn a trade, to see the world and visit places most people never go to, sports and adventure training and to serve my country. All that, and free shoes.


This is why I am not allowed to talk to the kind of people who write newspaper or magazine articles


I'd have to add just a little bit. I get to visit places most people never want to go to.

Gotta hit the trift store here. I need a couple pairs of fatigue pants. They're great of golfing, bike riding, fishing, etc. Very comfortable.



What size do you wear? I have loads of them. 30 inseam, ~28-30 waist.

Maybe he meant custom-fitting spandex fatigues?

Although the gentleman second from the right appears comfortable in his fatigues. Perhaps this is the fit you strive for?

34 inseam. Nice try though. I'll hit the trift store here. We have a Na'tl Guard unit and an Air force Base outside of town. So there's plenty to choose from.

Well, if it's " something other than a flashlight", I'd be worried that it's growing out from my right hip instead of where it should be.

And that it's bent at a right angle at the tip.

And that it's green.

I've never been a slave to fashions or trends. Only to what is pacticle and versitile. No helmets or cycling gear. I see those people and I can only chuckle. And how much money did you put down for all that junk? Shake my head, and chuckle again. The same pair of fatigues go a long way in cooler weather. Cycling, golfing, hunting, fishing, yard work, etc. And only for a couple of bucks.



That is why I wear clothes designed for cycling, because they are practical. There is a reason that they have developed hte way they have over the decades: comfort and function. I don't care about style that much (though I do have a jersey sporting A6M2 Zero graphics and another sporting Spitfire graphics), otherwise I wouldn't be caught dead in them with my body. I do go for the bright colors so that I will be less likely to be caught dead by some inattentive driver (the brighter your clothes the more likely you are to be seen). In my normal clothing I go for dull earth tones, but on the bike I want to be seen.

The price isn't so bad for me, since I work in the industry and either get to buy them at slightly above cost or are given them by the manufacturers/distributors. Since I have been working the cycling industry for nearly three decades I have a hell of a lot more cycling clothes than any cyclist you might know...

EDIT:

Keep in mind, I am a serious cyclist. I have pedaled my way across the US (Seattle to Savannah, Georgia), up and down the Rockies, all around the Southeast US and a good chunk of western Europe (England, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and a loop around France). Because of the time I have spent in the saddle, my preference for clothing designed for the job is greater than that of someone who spends an hour or two a week on the bike.

That's pretty much true. Unfortunately, in my line of work I have to shave it off every day. Also, at my age, it's primarily white so you can't see it anyway. I can say that I will make a great Santa one day.

At 6 am I cracked up out loud and scared the hell out of the cats.

There is nothing quite as sad as the sight of a middle aged, pot bellied, barge ar**ed man dressed in pink lycra with all the trendy gear walking into a latte cafe after barely working up a sweat cycling from the next corner....

Sadly an all to common sight these days.....
