Rule #41 Violation forces Tour Champ to swap bikes.
[rule number=41/]
Look, people. We’re not making this up; we’re mainlining this shit straight from the rivers of Truth flowing down the slopes of Mount Velomis. They draw from the history and culture of the sport, and from good common sense. They make sense, in fact, even if the Keepers don’t necessarily know why at the time of conjuring. Nevertheless, they apply to the weekend warrior as much as they do to a Tour de France Champion.
Television commentators waxed poetic about the garbage bag caught on Froome’s back wheel being symbolic of how this race has thrown everything at him and still he persevered. Well, I’m here to tell you that his litter collection was little more than civic service and had nothing to do with bad luck: it was penance paid for a blatant violation of Rule #41. Full stop.
Obey the Rules and this sort of shit won’t happen.

I once managed to get a plastic bag stuck on the tip of my ski while I was tucking down the Glacier Saddle on Whistler. It sucked.
It's been too long since an article had a Mt Velomis reference.
Genius and true. Obey the Rules
Just checking. Are our 8-yr old selves going to use "shit" as often as possible instead of "fuck" now, or am I doubly cool using both?
In an attempt to fulfill Rules #2 and #3, last week I responded to a post in a Facebook cycling group where some guy was asking what kind of earbuds to buy for cycling. I quickly cited Rule #62, including imparting the safety benefits of doing so. I was clearly in the minority, but seemed to gain some acceptance among these unclean souls by responding to the allegation that combining a love of music and cycling makes both better, whereby I stated: "I like drinking and driving but have enough sense to know that you do not mix those two activities."

Fucking crazy, a bike worth more than most of us will ever hope to swing a leg over, by a rider we can only watch and wonder about, during the the largest bike race (and the only one that John Q. Public thinks there is) gets derailed by a .002 cent plastic bag that should be stuck in some friggin sea turtles face.
Several rule violations going on; for us: yes #41.
For all those tards that walked by, stepped over or dropped some of their own shit onto the road and did not pick up their own trash- shame on them. Thats a rule their parents should have taught them. Bend down and pick up your trash.
All this trash talk is making me sick.
Yeah, that's skewer position is garbage.

Fuck an apostrophe.
It would appear that the "araignée affectueux d'ampoule" can't help but ride ugly.
