Hey! Why don't we have a Bicycling Group?
Seems like we have a lot of cyclists at DU.

Seriously. Who's in?

2. Because I don't know how to ride a bicycle...
and you couldn't discriminate against the likes of me. That's why. Deal with it.

5. You'll "try" anything?
ba-dum-dum.

18. So you're in?
I'm not gonna write the mission statement, big guy. Maybe you can do it, eh?

Seriously. My mission statement would suck. "Ummmm. We like riding bikes....We like talking about riding bikes.....We occasionally blow out some tires, and then we talk about it....ummm...We like Lance......We obsess about the minutiae of gear-ratios and such....We like riding bikes...Wait! I already said that....umm...Give us a group, Skinner.


Yeah. A Group!

25. The "Bush Economic MIRACLE"
Edited on Fri Mar-11-05 07:33 AM by BiggJawn
I've had to drop my memberships in the Sierra Club, Nature conservancy and NWF, too. I have to work THREE hours to fill the tank to go to work now instead of just one hour, like 2 years ago...

I suppose I could scrape up 5 bucks...

24. Nope
I'll air them when and where I please unless a mod tells me otherwise.

Besides that I'm all for the group. I've got an interest in it and have no idea where to start.
