BSNYC Friday Pair Of Dirty Cycling Shorts You Put In A Plastic Bag And Then Forgot To Unpack For Two Weeks!

Well, it had to happen sooner or later.

I'm going to Australia next month:


I don't know if you knew this, but Australia's pretty far from the United States, so I'm a little daunted by the trip--especially considering I'll be flying there by generic zeppelin:


("Oh, the humanity--but oh, the legroom!")

This is the sort of thing I wish they'd taught us in school, but sadly I went to school in America, and in social studies we covered Australia entirely by watching the movie "Young Einstein" starring Yahoo Serious:


On the plus side, I totally "aced" physics class, which we also covered entirely by watching "Young Einstein" starring Yahoo Serious, a movie I knew quite well by that point because I'd seen it already in social studies.

That's what we call a "holistic education" in this country.

And now, because I have a flight to catch*, let's get right to the quiz.  As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer.  If you're right you'll be happy, and if you're wrong you'll see your tax dollars at work.

Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and always wear your helment while zeppelining.

*In about 30 days.




(Frozen urine holds pro cycling's most tantalizing secrets.)

1) Which of these riders is not on the list of 1998 EPO positives recently released by the French Senate?

2) This is called:

--The "Swinger"
--The "Namo"

4) Anthony Weiner's "sexting" alias was:

--"Carlos Danger"

5) What's a "POC Octal?"

--A new helment
--A new saddle
--A new bottom bracket interface
--A new Anthony Weiner "sexting" alias






("What the hell is this stuff?!?  I better buy a new bike!")

6) Time to sell that "monstercross" bike!  The bicycle industry now wants you to have a special bike just for riding on gravel.

--True
--False








7) Fill in the blank:

    "Skewered" yes but I must have miss the "celebrated" post. Maybe they ment to say "complained about".

  8. Well this is typical.

  19. So Bo Hamburger got caught, but less publicized were the positives of two lesser-known riders, Frenchman Pomfritz Fries and Spaniard Rui Coca Costa Cola. It was a regular Happy Meal clusterfuck, I'll tell you...

  20. Today, not only did I learn what gravel is, but I learned that it is legitimate to ask what defines a gravel road race bike.

    Thank you for the information!

  26. I did the vasectomy. Best $1600 I ever did spent.

    BSNYC I just want to clarify...are the Australianeseites expecting bib-shorts guy when you will be arriving instead? You should totally dress like him that day. It would be a real hoot. A knee slapper. They will be drunk on Fosters anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  27. And for the record my vasectomy was NOT court mandated.

    ReplyDelete
  28. McFly - I am pretty certain that the only that Aussies drink Foster's are grade schoolers. It's shit beer and it's not for adults.

  29. About Missy Giove;
    Back before most of your were born I was in the Navy, and when we pulled into San Deigo and got shore leave, all us saliors would head south to Tijuana. They had these shows there where weoman would smoke cigarettes and cigars. Amoung other things (I left when they brought in the...)

  31. Snob. As I am sure you know Australia is home to the most deadly animals in the world. Wear a helment and Kevlar body suit at all times and bring shark repellent.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Things at that writers festival I'd attend in addition to Snob's shows ($40 to ride along? Oh, that's $40 AUSTRALIAN...):

    --Ned Kelly's skeleton was finally identified in 2013, yet the whereabouts of the head, once protected by that famous helmet, remains a mystery. Historian Jill Dimond shares her theory of the missing skull with Overland editor Jeff Sparrow and cultural historian Helen MacDonald.
    HELMET!!

    --Wisecracking Canadian comic Ophira Eisenberg has spent most of her life saying yes - to everything and everyone. From her first kiss to saying 'I do,' Ophira talks frankly with Helen Razer about sex, relationships and the ins and outs of putting your love life on public display - one promiscuous encounter at a time.
    BABBLE!!

    You're in some tony company there, Snob -- nicely done!

  33. I saw a Ping Pong show in Bangkok. Highly suggested.

    The young lady:
    -smoked cigs with her vag
    -put a baker's dozen ping pong balls up there, shot them all over the room
    -used a blowgun with her hootinanny, popped balloons over customers heads.
    -put a banana up there, shot it out without the peel

    I was impressed.

  43. Tiew began to learn the tricks of the trade by observing her colleagues train their pelvic muscles to hold, eject, and blow objects out of their vaginal cavities. She watched women lace flower garlands, stuff them in condoms, and insert them in their vaginas before dancing in circles like swirling dervishes while slowly pulling out the garlands. She watched women hold firecrackers in each of their hands and then insert the lit firecrackers inside themselves during an erotic dance. In one act,Tiew learned how to place a lit cigarette in her vagina, inhale the fumes and exhale the smoke. In another act, Tiew mimicked a woman who inserted an unboiled egg in her vagina and smacked her body against the wooden floor multiple times before removing the unbroken egg. Tiew escorted male members of the audience to the dance platform, gave them balloons, and watched a colleague use her pelvic muscles to shoot darts at the balloons. During one show, Tiew observed a woman put a Coca-Cola bottle inside her and pop off the top with her vaginal muscles and then insert the bottle's contents inside her body, dance like an expressionless automaton, and later release the contents into an empty bottle to elicit laughter from intoxicated audience members. During another show, Tiew watched a woman stuff a bulbous, agitated frog inside her body and hold still as the ruckus audience counted out loud in unison, enthusiastically encouraging her to endure longer

  50. I've just one question for you, Aussie Snobbie; how can you stop freeloading miscreants from joining in your Melbourne meander?

    Granted, Melbournians are a simple and servile peoples, but there might be cyclists from Sydney visiting and it could all end in tears.

    In any event, Melbourne is such a boring and orderly city you really won't be able to "ponder the question Bike Snob NYC poses for himself every day". You have to come to bedlamistic Sydney for that -- do pay us a visit.

  52. As a Melbournian reader of this and Alan Davies' blog, your little "Bike City" event on the Saturday morning sounds kinda tempting, but it does somewhat interfere with my local Fred ride...what do do...what to do...

    That may or may not be more comfortable to ride...but one thing is sure, you will lose a shitload of power transfer from your core muscles thru your hips and down your legs with that contraption. With your spine doing the samba on every stroke I predict lower back pain as well.

    But, I would like one anyway....so I could twerk while I ride...

    Australians are a funny mob, their self image of being carefree, bronzed and healthy with a fair go for all is totally at odds with reality. I wouldn't recommend riding a bicycle there unless you want to be run off the road by a bogan in a ute.

  64. Woke up early yesterday morning with a hangover and not enough sleep. That's what I get for gallivantin' aa well as celebrating Babble's B-Day. The commute ride began at 7:00am and the streets were nice and empty. Cold, foggy, and misty conditions helped to wake me up as the first coffee was too slow to take effect. I wore my Amgen Tour of California Leaders Jersey. The irony is that ever since the ToC moved to May and now overlaps with the Giro d'Italia, I have boycotted it, even when the stages are close enough to go watch in person. So I only ever wear that jersey while commuting, and even then not very often. Nothing like achieving dorktastic-ness by dressing like a Road Fred and riding an old mountain bike with mismatched tires, Ergon Grips, and fat panniers.
    A lady on a touring bike blew by me near the fabled intersection of California & Hearst, passing close enough on my left to reach out and touch her, on a street with zero traffic. So I emerged out of my hangover, I was wearing the Piss and Puppy-Shit Brown Leaders Jersey after all, and the Cat 6 chase was on! She saw me in her helment mirror and started working harder. I caught her right at the intersection, which was empty gosh-what-a-surprise, and bellowed, "DON'T PASS ME SO CLOSE NEXT TIME!"
    Felt great the rest of the day!
    Cat 6: You Have No Friends.
    Cat 6: No Gifts.

    Other than that, I really am a polite bici commuter and Cat 6-ing is a state that I must be provoked into. Really.

    Great day today to ride to the Alameda Art and Wine Fair with Future Mrs. Yarpo (FMY). Everyone have a bitchin' Sunday, play outside, and wear a healmeent even if you're just playing Scrabble. ESPECIALLY if you're just playing scrabble...

  67. True story:

    Friday night, my dog and I go out for a walk.

    Right in front of our building, there is a twenty-something guy with a touring bike standing in the bike lane.

    He's sporting a scruffy beard, skater helmet and black glasses that peg him as a wayfarer from Williamsburg.

    He's using the light from his iphone to inspect his shifters and looking confused.

    Then he puts the phone to his ear and says "okay, so tell me how to downshift to make it easier to pedal."

    My dog was speechless.

    You can't make this stuff up.

    (My dog has since regained his speech and sends belated birthday wishes to Babs.)
