Bicycle Pirate, etc.

First, it's a warm weekend here in Calgary, and despite juggling work both days I did get out for some earlier morning pedal turning both days. Talk about fun, Bain and Craig are the hill masters, met some new riders, and I just love being out there with everyone. I feel decent overall for my current riding program. Jon, Bain, Shawn, Claire and I had fun on Saturday at 1410 again wishing the "Bunnin's" well on their sendoff this week to see Tori, run the Paris marathon, and take in some spring classics. A Belgian specialty bier haus seemed just right.

Now secondly, here's something funny. Don't ask why I was looking for bicycle pirates, it won't really make sense and isn't even that interesting (to add legitimacy to this, I'll just say I had read some article about a few trucks of carbon bikes and associated goodies go missing between Asia and west coast US ports... I'm sure that actually isn't all that rare).

What is interesting however is this Bicycle Pirate (explanation), or here for a general set of imagery. Although I didn't find what I was looking for about the real bicycle pirates, but this certainly didn't leave me disappointed either. The internet is less complete without women who never outgrew playing dress up, but then at some age it's supposed to be called fashion, and never outgrew bikes, realizing now it's the environmentally conscious and hip way of getting them around. This girl should move to Copenhagen and do a few guest appearances on Copenhagen Cycling Chic. I think I condone this type of activity.

I know a certain bicycle bee who likes to dress up in mexican wrestling masks and bee costumes and other stuff and ride bikes, which I'm reminded of by this. I don't know if that's closer to piracy or fashionista. Maybe a pirate outfit is next for some races?
