Nice Butt!




Bike racers seen from a car window.


To a car driving toward a bicyclist from behind (yes, I meant to say that) all male bicycle racers look alike.  They are thin, folded like a paper clip and wearing spandex.  Today, for the first time in almost two years, a  car with several college-age girls drove by me and the blond in the passenger seat yelled "Nice Butt!" as she went by.


Since the road was flat--West River Drive in Philadelphia--and my head was down, it is possible that none of the young women in the car knew they were yelling at a member of AARP.  I have to say no one yelled anything like that as I rode around Tallil Air Base.

  1. I'm so very very proud. I am, in fact, kvelling. Also, jealous.

  2. A great picture. Lots of folks here hoping the Tour of Missouri doesn't end up on the budgetary chopping block, though it looks as if it may.
