Fuck this bicycling shit, it's too damn hot

[taterguy]

It's official. I'm going over to the dark side, at least for this week.

Sigh.

[LostinVA]

1. *gasp*

That's okay -- I wouldn't want you to wind up a baked tater.

Per my mom, it was even 100 in the mountains yesterday.

[JVS]

6. Only if he becomes a baked tater in another manner

:smoke:

[LostinVA]

7. When he's angry, he's a steamed tater

[JVS]

8. Tells lame jokes is he a cheesy tater?

[LostinVA]

9. Yep -- and when he's all cleaned up, he's a hot tater

[DS1]

10. and when he bikes naked, he's a red tater

[LostinVA]

11. And if a car sideswipes him, he's a mashed tater

[DS1]

13. doh, already done

[LostinVA]

14. And when he becomes a vegetarian, he'll be a tater salad

Your fried tater was so funny!

[DS1]

15. and when he rides drunk he's a loaded tater

:evilgrin:

[taterguy]

16. Those days are gone

I got into an argument with the sidewalk and lost

[LostinVA]

25. When he gets sunburned two days in a row -- he's a twice-baked tater

[DS1]

29. when he crashes on black asphalt he's a sauteed tater

:D

[taterguy]

21. (allegedly) hot tater

[LostinVA]

23. That would be the hot tub tater

[taterguy]

32. Those pics have been deleted

Allegedly they traumatize some Loungers

[LostinVA]

24. hehehehe

[taterguy]

20. Steamed tater

[LostinVA]

22. That may even be a waterlogged tater!

[taterguy]

19. Baked tater

[LostinVA]

26. OMG -- you totally are

[taterguy]

36. Just for the record I was not under the influence of any illicit substances in that pic

I was having an Ocracoma, a blissful state induced by prolonged exposure to the NC Outer Banks

[supernova]

2. Yes, it's too hot for exertion

at least past 10am anyway.

[bikebloke]

3. I'll carry the flag then.

I inhale an entire water bottle with a single sip. But I like it. I just carry a lot of extra water.

[DS1]

4. to work and back, yes

but for exercise I'm typically indifferent to temperature. if anything the hot weather makes you not stop.

[Shine]

5. Yeah, I don't know how you people handle the humidity and heat out there

you have my sympathies.

[taterguy]

35. You have our envy

It's not fair that folks in your neck of the woods can do coastal rides and mountain rides at the same damn time, in addition to your superior weather.

OTOH, we rarely have earthquakes here.

[cwydro]

12. Usually hot here

and I love summer. I'll take the heat over the wind anyday.

[SPKrazy]

17. indoor stationary bike

training time

:D

[taterguy]

18. An indoor stationary bike won't get me to work

The part in my OP about going to the dark side was a way of saying that I'm temporarily getting off my high horse about proclaiming that advantages of using a bicycle for basic transportation.

[SPKrazy]

27. well...

okay, i thought you were talking about staying in shape for cycling while it's hot.

:shrug:

[libnnc]

28. Dude...I was thinking about you today.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy tooooooo fucking hot to move.

[hfojvt]

[jpgray]

31. Just bike nude. I'm sure confronting everyone with your public nudeness is a good idea

:D

[mainegreen]

33. Just go to wal-mart and get an AC unit for you bike.

Stick some solar panels on the AC unit and viola!

[taterguy]

34. That would be so cool

Get it? Cool
