прышпільная рэч на байкрадары: How to talk to non-cyclists

I am sad to say that there are people out there who rarely - if ever! - ride bikes at all. It's possible you even know someone like this. A coworker. A family member. You'd be surprised at how common non-cyclists are, actually.




This one's going to knock you off your feet. Believe it or not, non-cyclists sometimes think they have something interesting to say, have an interesting hobby, or an interesting experience to relate.


...

гэта мне асабліва спадабалася:
To explain why you gladly get up at 4:30am each weekday morning to ride your road bike for three hours on an entirely unremarkable road: "You know how you have to drive your car in stop-and-go traffic to get to work every morning? Well, imagine if you didn't have to stop. And imagine your car going as fast as you can make it go. And imagine starting the day feeling perfect. It's kind of like that."


...

і ня ведаю, як астатнія, а гэтае правіла стопудова слушнае:

Rule 5. Don't tell them the truth about how much your bike cost


ну і ў тэму апошніх дзён і абсалютна сур'ёзна:

There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes.
