Dear All,

Only serious cyclists seem to be corresponding on this forum on very highly technical matters or  blood sapping s&m long distance rides.

Come on folks, cycling isn’t all that dull, drab and debilitating as you portray – its even worse.

To lighten up, I am posting some jokes on cyclists/cycling. 


An overweight and impatient cyclist unhappy with his weight reduction  through cycling went to a sports doctor and asked him for a method of losing weight with no possibility of failure. The physician consulted medical encyclopedias, journals and tomes. Finally he turned to the eager cyclist and said, "I think I have have the solution. Eat an apple." The cyclist was surprised and delighted, "As simple as that?" he asked, "Do I eat the apple before or after cycling?"

"Instead," said the weary doctor.


Notice on a bulletin board "Wanted urgently a second hand cycle. Sex not important." 

Underneath that a wag had scribbled, "That's what you think."


Please post your own cycling/cyclists jokes liberally.

Let’s all have a good, hearty laugh at ourselves. Why should only the others have the pleasure at our cost ?

Good. Brought a smile on the face.

Today's news on this gp has not been exactly cheerful. Someone lost a bike which by itself is a bad one.

Another person a victim of a hit and run. Which is also very unfortunate.

Makes me wonder when is my turn to be a victim ?

(how convenient the internet is, I don't have to type out all of them...all jokes are now re-cycled, too!

Cheers, Deepa.

Mark Twain's quote "Get a bicycle. You will not regret it, if you
live." was actually about the "Ordinary", the old-style cycles. Like
most of Mark Twain's stuff, it is worth reading in full:

Enjoy!

Wonderful set of Jean Voigt Facts!!! Refresh the page to get a new Fact :)

The grass is always greener on the other side. Unless Jens Voigt has been riding on the other side in which case it's white with the salty, dried tears of all the riders whose souls he has crushed.

I remember couple of instances that actually happened:
i) We were a group of riders during a CAM ride (Jog falls last year) when a villager walks up to the support team and asks "how much do you pay them for this?".. He smiles and replies - "We don't pay.. they pay!!!"..
ii) This one I heard from Priya from one of her ride.. One of the village boy walks up to a cyclist and asks the price of the cycle.. Not wanting to invite too much attention the cyclist says 'Rs. 5000".. Not convinced, he keeps asking the cyclist couple of more times "Is it true?". Our cyclist says "Yes". The shocked boy stares at the cycle for a while and then says "Uncle, please wait.. I will come back with money right way to buy this cycle."..
 
iii) When we were wrapping up with our CAM ride, we were assembling the cycle before loading them back on the support vehicle.. Few of the local boys thought someone is distributing cycles and they ganged around us.. One of the smarter one wanted to trade his cycle with one of ours.. To Impress us he says "Uncle, this cycle is given by Yediruppa !!! take mine and give one of yours"..

Here is a PJ as my contribution 

Q: Why couldn't the bicycle stand up on its own?

A: It was two tired. :P

This will help all and act as a repository..

Lemme knw if sme 1 has more suggestions

Cheers
Vinay

:-) Good one.

I guess this is outside a temple and innovative idea to protect footwear :-)
