    They play it on radio as well.

    Google it. They are HILARIOUS.

    I did a youtube search and although there were plenty of hilarious Bud Lite ads that I just killed 15 minutes with, can you recall a specific one,a description, that I could put into a youtube search?

    Unfortunately my favorite is probably a local radio show parody.

    Aside from that I can't recall a specific one... anything with the NFL probably struck my fancy, but YMMV :D

    Or, you may find that the NFL commercials are not amusing if you're not into football.

    Great story....and I'll never get why (yes MEN) need to pass us....and then slow down. I'm sure you guys deal with each other in your own way....but I've seen a man nearly have a heart attack trying to pass me me only to pull off for a "mechanical" shortly after. Hellfire if a woman is leading HIM!! Good on ya girl...go get him!! :bang:

    There's your answer right there. We totally blow our wads just trying to pass you ladies. With nothing left we have to slow down or stop have to check something on your bikes.

    Oh believe me, I give him a big sweet smile when I pass! He ignores me though.

    Well you know what's funny of course is while I'm pedally madly like a squirrel, for all I know he stopped to admire the ocean, have a drink, pull up his socks..... the drama is 100% in my head :D

    Great story. I do the same with an old guy that rides his recumbant up El Toro, every day. I only ride 3 times a week to work.

    The other day I was one of 6 riders at the intersection of El Toro and Trabuco. I've been commuting to work the same route for 5 years and have never seen more than one other rider in the morning.

    I'm kinda liking the high gas prices. I'm no longer alone on the road.

    I just hope to convert my old trek HT to a single speed dirtboy and buy a real roadie so i can stink eye everyone too.

    I think to problem here for you Shedevil is what you're maybe packin up front. If you're that vixen that rides a HT near my house that has her riding shirt unzipped almost to her navel, then how can any of us help passing you then admiring your "riding" with a little helmet mirror?

    Remember, we men are one step away from Neanderthal.

    I suppose if you rode to work dressed like this no heterosexual man in his right mind would pass you ;)
