Anatomy of a Photo: Sleepless in Belgium

Team Quickstep gets sleepy

I’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is more Rule #5.

Thanks to Michael for bringing this matter to our attention.

The founder of Velominati and curator of The Rules, Frank was born in the Dutch colonies of Minnesota. His boundless physical talents are carefully canceled out by his equally boundless enthusiasm for drinking. Coffee, beer, wine, if it’s in a container, he will enjoy it, a lot of it. He currently lives in Seattle. He loves riding in the rain and scheduling visits with the Man with the Hammer just to be reminded of the privilege it is to feel completely depleted. He holds down a technology job the description of which no-one really understands and his interests outside of Cycling and drinking are Cycling and drinking. As devoted aesthete, the only thing more important to him than riding a bike well is looking good doing it. Frank is co-author along with the other Keepers of the Cog of the popular book, The Rules, The Way of the Cycling Disciple and also writes a monthly column for the magazine, Cyclist. He is also currently working on the first follow-up to The Rules, tentatively entitled The Hardmen. Email him directly at rouleur@velominati.com.

@Pedale.Forchetta
You must be having at least as much fun with Silvio as we did with W.

We wasted about a dozen perfectly good Anatomy of a Photo opportunities. Here. That's probably a good thing. None of those photos - especially the one of Potato molesting the White Ladies - need to grace our front page.

Not the smoothest segue here, but what of our boys over at Leopard with the matching scarves. Certainly not weird like a man-train with pillows but it's still no wonder I haven't seen Jens in any of the photos.

And if I have to start liking Treks now I don't know what I'll do.

I didn't see any pic's of Jens... did he attack and drop the presser?

@Marko
Good pick up.
It was his presence that made the photo NSFW (couldn't have been the nipple)
