My Dad died one week ago. I am not really looking to discuss his passing online, but he did have a little something to say about commuting by bicycle.
When I was home this/last summer, I mentioned to my Father that I had become a commited bicycle commuter, rain or snow or shine.
Always a man of few words, my Dad said, "good for you. Do you have fenders?" I replied that yes, I have full fenders, in fact, fenders I had to special order to meet my exacting standards. He had very little interest in my standards, but responded by saying, "oh good. I see these guys riding around town with stripes of dirty water up their backs and I think they look idiotic".
Enough Said.
