True story - last summer, I was on my bike, toiling up Rockpile Road near Healdsburg CA (18 miles, avg. grade: 6%, max. grade: 12%) and I caught up to a 70-something man doing the same thing. He was glad of the company and so we talked. Turned out that he was in some discomfort because he had injured himself the previous day while helping his son move. Bruised ribs, maybe even a cracked rib. It hurt to breathe.
After saying all this, he dropped me.
I'd like to see Rush ride a bike up a driveway cutout without breathing hard.
Sky Friend-dammit, I hate everything about these assholes. As a guy who loves bikes I can honestly say I'd love the chance to go riding on some of the roads covered by the Tour. Good for Kerry to get the chance. And at his age anyone would have to genuinely worry about that injury permanently limiting their mobility and maybe their independence. But fuck Politico's 'journalism' of the event and fuck Limbaugh's shart that he attempts to disguise as commentary of the event.
What will make all of these jerks feel a lot better? A long bike ride and a beer. I have vast amounts of empirical evidence proving that point, and I might add to it tonight.
To be honest, when I first saw Kerry's pic in his rad bike helmet I couldn't help singing quietly to myself:"I'm Mister Heat Miser, I'm Mister Sun . . ."
Make something idiot-proof and God makes a bigger idiot.
One of my cycling buddies did a riding tour in France last year. Climbed Mt. Ventoux, the animal.
Elite cycling...

Knew a dude once whose mother WAS one of the Fat Bottomed Girls in the Bicycle Race.
Yeah, but bikes = EXERCISE = elitist. Real Mericans are FAT SLOBS and proud.
I actually thought (at first) you were speaking about the Queen Of England. She might look ravishing, though, all nude...on a bike. Um...maybe not.
What she does in the privacy of her own palace ...
Much less elite when you ride your bike in a coat and tie just like the plebes.

... especially the ones that make you thirsty. They're the worstest.
Today I learned that riding a bike is an "elite, expensive sport".
Looks just like a supervillian in a movie. Case closed. Full stop!
...well then, the answer to the question in that Beatles song is... NO.
... if you're referring to Lord Mittens of Hairgel, at least he bowls... http://mittromneycentral.co... - that has to count for something, no?
