Thoughts on the Philadelphia International Cycling Championship

(a.k.a. the only day of the year where Philadelphians try not to hit bikers in Fairmount Park):

1. Where do I get me one of THOSE guys?
2. How do they go to the bathroom? Check that -- I'd rather not know.
3. Wait, what bank sponsors this race? I don't think I heard you the first 600 times, and those signs really aren't big enough.
4. Spandex should only be embraced by a select few. A very select few.
5. I really need to get to the gym.
6. And if you feel this way, may I recommend watching the race from the Parkway? There's a lot less nonsense and drunk girls there, plus a place to sit.
