Anatomy of a Photo: Things That Are Hard To Come By

Museeuw rockin’ the bands riding with Cipo decked out in yellow as he twists one up. There are only two things cooler than this and both of them are impossible to get. One is Led Zeppelin playing at your shitty graduation party in the late 70’s and the other is one of those awesome Coca Cola bidons. Fuck yeah!

Marko

Marko lives and rides in the upper midwest of the States, Minnesota specifically. "Cycling territory" and "the midwest" don't usually end up in the same sentence unless the conversation turns to the roots of LeMond, Hampsten, Heiden and Ochowitz. While the pavé and bergs of Flanders are his preferred places to ride, you can usually find him harvesting gravel along forest and farm roads. He owes a lot to Cycling and his greatest contribution to cycling may forever be coining the term Rainbow Turd.

I don't think that is tobacco. I bet Super Mario was a mountain biker at heart. I gotta say, even with bright yellow fingerless gloves, the guy is stylin' like no other.

Women want to be with him, and men want to be him.

Chicks say "Gimme a number I can reach ya"; Dudes say "motherfucker be my teacha."

Thanks! Yeah, i am not planning on wearing them for more than a photo or two on the ride, just think that they look so cool. Sounds pretty amazing riding period gear over those race routes. I have heard of civil war reenactors etc but i did not know that they had cycling reenacting (hell, they probably don't have it in the US).

I was compensating for the American Velominati. On a side note Plant's beloved Wolverhampton Wanderers (the shirt he's pictured in) were relegated yesterday.

We don't do that "lowest common denominator" shit around here. This is Velominati, not the CyclingNews Forums.

My mistake. I was under the impression that all in the US called it soccer. It is of course football. 50 Hail Merckxy's for Me.

You little devil, you took that at Cafe Grinta, and the photo somehow told you Marko would post up this AOP and now you've seized your chance.

You are a genius. It is confirmed.

It was not that complicated. The owner of Cafe Grinta is a good friend of mine. We talked on the phone for two hours yesterday.
