It's in the sponsor's contract, zero chainring tattoo tolerance. You
know, corporate image and all that. I know because I read about it here.

Chainring tattoos are what's really making the sponsors leave the sport.

I wonder if anyone has actually done that. Has anyone gotten the grime
changed into permanent ink? Gotta be someone out there at a local race
at least. I haven't seen it yet.

That one's really cool. Not something I'd get, but I like it a lot.
Thanks for the stuff.

That's from http://aistigave.hit.bg/Logistics/
which I think Jobst has posted before. I've certainly
spammed my friends with it before.

As Archimedes said, give me a bungee cord

Down the page is a shot of guys on a motorcycle carrying a mirror. This must be
pretty common, as a friend got a couple shots of the same thing:

That and stages that end in field sprints, which are gay.

Bicycle racing needs to get back to its two founding principles:
cleanliness and manliness.

p.s. I don't want to start a new thread for this, but if Pereiro had won
the TdF last year, would that count as a virtual win for Landis? I'm
trying to sort out a fantasy virtual cycling pool I'm running and am a
little confused by all the D.Q.'s last year.

I clean my bike at least once a week. I don't shave (or wax) my nutsack.

Have you considered buying one of these:

I'm sure LIVEDRUNK(tm) could provide the funding
if the computer could spare a few petaflops to
optimize cocktail mixing algorithms.

I always wondered when IBM would come out with a computer that would
finally make OS/2 the Windows-killer it was meant to be.
