I love the shape of it. Aroma of it. The way it feels to be around it. It will catch my eye from across the way; I will be powerless to resist taking in its form and perhaps allow my hand to graze its surface. The source of such beauty and harmony, it is a fountain of unspeakable happiness.
It offers me companionship when I need it, solitude when I want to be alone. It distracts me when I’m trying to focus and focuses me when I am trying not to be distracted. It inspires me to take chances, and reminds me to be patient.
It breaks me down when I’m overconfident, it builds me up when I’m insecure. It brings me pain to remind me I should become a stronger man.
I love it when it’s flawless, but I love it more when it shows signs of wear; our time together has changed us both indelibly for the better.
It is no wonder the French and Italians refer to the bicycle in the feminine form, for all these things embody what it means to be a strong woman.

Slightly off topic but all this posting photos of fat people reminds me that last week there were two stories side by side in the Telegraph, one that Jessica Ennis Britain's world heptathlon silver medallist and Olympic gold chance had been described as being too fat by a senior UK Athletics official and the other that Britain's fattest teenager had to cut out of her house by rescue crews in order to get her to hospital. WTF on both counts.
Ennis had also just beaten the Olympic 100 metre hurdle champion Dawn Harper and world 100 metre hurdle silver medallist Danielle Carruthers so could be described as "on form"
@sthilzy
I know this is cruel to say, but she is the living personification of Jabba the Hut. Lordy, her head and neck are triangular!
@Chris
She might have some fat in her lips and earlobes but that's about all. Beautiful, fit athlete.
@sthilzy, @Marko
New rule proposal, you can only post pictures of fat people if they're as fit as Jessica Ennis.
@Chris
Seconded. Oh my eyes.
@sthilzy
WTF are those things on her head anyway? The can't be curlers as there's really nothing that can be done on the improvements front. Are they some sort of fat persons sausage holding survival kit for when she's got to leave the immediate vicinity of the fridge?
@scaler911
So where's wee Joe 90 then? That sure looks like his gizmo chair.
@Chris
I read that too. I want to see a picture of the fat fuck in a blazer who called her fat. I think a wee head-to-head race should sort out the issue.
@Chris
Correct. She is from Wisconsin and those curlers craftily hide a box of Johnsonville bratwurst in case she gets the munchies.
@wiscot
Carrying sausages is probably the only exercise she gets, might account for the neck.
When you emigrated to Wisconsin, did you introduce the Scottish love of battering and deep frying all things from confectionery to offal? Were the locals skinny before that?
