    One must always remember, and adhere to, the Rules. If you do not, then you are not a true roadie. Of course, I break most of them just getting on my road bike.

    Also you must try and resemble a T-Rex........all legs and no arms. Upper body muscle is not acceptable.

    I saw this video and immediately thought of the rules. The PB video actually references the rules twice. As to your violations, I refer you to rule #3. :)
