Don't wear cycling jerseys if you're fat".It just doesn't look right. That's because no one makes bike clothing for those that aren't thin! They say they do, but XXL items are just for tall people. 4. Don’t wear cycling jerseys if you’re fat”.It just doesn’t look right.

I've been doing that to my brother RL for years! ;) I'm sure some sort of editing would happen to this comment.

In races. Where, if they stop to pee, they fall behind. This was a dude with dreds on a tallbike crossing the east river into Queens at about 12 mph. There's no reason for it. What if I had been coming the other way? Would I have had to go under his arc? I don't care what business you have in Queens, but it can't be so urgent that one would have to pee from his saddle. At least now I can look back and be grateful the guy wasn't trying to hand me a towel. Yeah, guys, pros. In races. Where, if they stop to pee, they fall behind.

Once they're done, the support vehicle takes the towel away from him and the rider keeps going...

I have. It was a Black Label member on the Queensboro bridge, riding on the right side of the path and peeing off to his left while riding. It took me a minute to figure out what the arc of liquid coming from his crotch was, and then I had to wait for the stream of pee to end before I could pass him. What's the deal with that? I don't want your urine on my tires. Just get off the bike and pee against a wall or something. And if you can't get off your tall bike to pee, don't ride a tall bike. “Don’t pee on your bike” is good advice, but have you ever seen someone peeing from their bike? I have.
