We Wish You a Merckxy Christmas

Merckxy Christmas from all of us at Velominati

From everyone here at Velominati, we wish you a very Happy Holidays, and temporarily suspend Rule 11 for December 24 and 25. Cheers, and thanks for being part of our little community.

Merckxy Christmas to all, and to all a good ride.

frank

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.

@Cyclops, @Steampunk, @G'phant
No, no, no, no, no! There is a JENS! cookie, and he didn't eat any of his fellow cookies; he's no cookibal.

The JENS! cookie attacked and dropped the light on it's way back to the camera, so his image never made it to the lens.

Adam:
Them cookies are still smiling, they obviously haven't applied enough Rule 5.
Merckxy Christmas everyone.

Yes, they need harder looks, like they are inhaling wasps. Some round O mouths and x eyes.

At any rate, Merry Christmas everyone!
