  1. I saw a parent riding along side the school this afternoon, with
    panniers on the side, and kid's bike hookup thingy trailing along the
    back, and said "g'day" with a big smile, and got no response 🙁

    You are obviously a child molester if you are a male on your own outside a school and you smile at people. I'm surprised the police were not summoned. 😄

  4. What’s snobbier?
    Not returning a ‘hello’,
    Or expecting one?

    I see that look often, then it is replaced by screams of "HI TERRY" as
    some little tot I've helped with bicycle/whatever at some stage
    recognises me. Interesting to then see a look of confusion is produces.

    It's definitely a look of "yup, he's a child molester alright".

    A decent haircut would fix that you know.......would also be of benefit to
    your cycling due to the reduced weight and drag 🙂

    Long hair is like a built in aero helmet.
    Plus hair is padding, a good thing for a bandicoot.

    Bandicoot carrying tourists, what's wrong with that?

    Wrong, don't you know your cycling history, they reckon that when
    Fignon lost the tour by 8 seconds he could have won without the
    ponytail.

    Is it possible to get a lycra snood to fit over flowing locks, containing them in a more aerodynamic manner? The snood should, of course, match the lycra booties

    I've found throughout my life that all the people who go on about my
    haircut {:-)}}} are are sadly lacking in morals, personality or
    cluebies. If it is ever brought up in an interview, I reguard it as
    "anything goes" time.

    As to bicycling, why do you wanna go that fast that it matters? Does it
    matter? You are aware that smooth is not the fastest.

    Great for catching insects on downhills. Pity I'm not insectivorous {:-)}}}.

    You can get the dogs back after swimming {:-)}}}.

    I have a friend who is of the same facially and cranially hirsute persuasion as your kind self Terry. He is one helluva of hill climber and sprinter (the Samson effect??) . But what I don't understand is that he waxes from the neck down 😕 😕

    Because after that, the pain from cycling is nothing?
