Our "sickness" explained
"There's something WRONG with you." How many times have you heard that one, when you're describing your planned weekend ride?
I found a hysterical computer animated clip on "why we do what we do on a bike"' which of course, sounds completely insane to most people. I laughed so hard I cried when I saw it, and felt compelled to share.
WARNING: There is some profanity (which completely adds to the humor), so you've been warned.

Now get out and ride hard this weekend.

Loved it!! My work colleagues now ask me how far I cycle
they now realise when I go out a short cycle for me is 70k or so and not a couple of miles in the country park!! The best one was when I casually said I had cycled 260k one day. I was asked "are you f***ing insane" > "I am a real cyclist" brilliant.
That is funny!!!
Very funny! More tights than a grade 3 production of Peter Pan
My friend sent me this one when her husband was training for the Iron Man. Said it was all sooooo true!
