Sorry, but somebody has to say it...
« on: August 13, 2012, 12:20:41 am »
...While riding today...

I came to a fork in the road...

...and took it.  :D

I've always wanted to say that, and the opportunity was just too good to pass up.

Someone lost this out of their car, probably on the way to the park for a picnic. It had landed tines-up on the shoulder, so it seemed like a good idea to take it home and put it in the trash where it couldn't puncture a bike or car tire.

Not a bad idea to carry a small bin liner in a jersey pocket or bike bag. I usually find and gather enough "sharp 'n' pokey" debris on a given ride to more than half fill one and somewhere, there's a Schwalbe, Panaracer, or whatever that is feeling a little happier as a result.

Best,

Dan. (who's just feeling silly on this 95F/35C day...)

Nice joke but I beat you to it my friend.
see my crazyguyonabike blog, Three days behind bars.

Way back in May 2010.
And of course in the interests of being environmentally unfriendly, my fork was plastic!

Hi Dan, you're a good sport, so I gotta tell you I pinched this gag from my pal Chris Black.
He has logged a few blogs on crazy guy. A real road hero IMO. And a funny guy too.
Not funny guy as in The Goodfellas. But a funny guy. Someone who has inspired me in many ways.
