Rubber pants

I love to ride my bicycle, but I’m not manic about it. I don’t ride it when it is raining, or snowing, or when I would get heat stroke after a few miles. My feeling is that my bike is there for me to enjoy, and not the other way around. I also haven’t bought any rubber bicycle clothes, nor do I plan to do so anytime soon. Gotta give props, though, to a couple I met a few weeks ago. They came into my hospital’s ER from a bike crash, wearing matching rubber clothes. For some this might seem silly, but this couple was in their early 70’s! They are doing fine, but some of their rubber clothes got chopped up by the scissor-happy nurses in the ER. If you don’t know about that, it’s because of a closely guarded secret about hospitals. Here’s all you need to know – always wear clean underwear, just like your mom told you to.
