This one’s for you, Nan.

For everyone else, here’s how it works.  One time, Nanny and I were walking at night in DC.  We had walked to the Lincoln Memorial and were making our way back to the Metro station when we decided to go by the White House.  As we got near an intersection, we both saw the same thing a few blocks away.

A line of about 10 people all riding Segways, looking like a line of elephants, trunk to tail.  It was the most hilariously stupid thing I’d seen in a long time.  Nancy grabbed my arm and started laughing so hard she started coughing.

It was hilarious.

So when I saw this, I first had to do the old blink and shake my head just to make sure I was actually seeing what I was seeing!  Holy shit, I GOTTA get a picture for Nan!

So I did.  Here it is.

I saw a link to this on DrunkCyclist.  It’s a petition to have Google revise their online maps to provide riding directions from Point A to Point B for people who ride their bikes.  They do it for cars, why not for bikes?

I KNOW!!!

Go now and sign the petition!  I just did!

No posts this week?  What’s with that?  Nothing, that’s what.

There will be posts next week no doubt, as tomorrow is the STP, aka Seattle to Portland, bike ride.  As per usual, me Dave and Dean will be at the start line explaining to rich idiots how to put air into the tires on their $5000 bikes.  I’m not kidding folks, there are PLENTY of people who will be at the start line who are woefully ill-prepared.  I’m not talking “Ooops I forgot a rain shell”, I’m talking “Okay how do I shift this thing?”.

Oh man….4am to 7:30am.  At least it’ll be over before I wake up.
