This is Johann. I am writing for today, the blog post. This is because Road Dragon is being very busy making prepared for big weekend tour.
Road Dragon tells me to make a post about some kind of thinking. I am writing to say you should be thinking about this one thing. This thing is simple. Do it right!
I am seeing many things, when I am looking at so many of you. You are riding the bicycle. That is good. But so many dirty bikes! Has there been a rain storm today? No? So why is the bike dirty? Old bike is okay. Old and dirty is not so good.
What about the tape on the handle bars? Why is that so bad looking? Some wear is okay. This shows that you are riding the bike. Big gaps, and raggedy tape is not good. Did you just crash? No? Then why is the bar so messy?
You have bag for under saddle? Good for you! Good to have necessary things in right place. But I see so many bags all wrong. Bag is all faded from sun. Very good. This means the bike is riding. Bag is wearing out. Why? Bag is loose. Why? Make it to be fixed up. Where is self respect? Loose and wear out bag makes noises. It rubs shorts and wears them out. Maybe one day it falls into wheel and makes the crash. Make it to be fixed up nice. If not fixed, get new one. Okay?
I am not understanding this. I see nice gloves, but not so nice helmet. This is a very silly thing. Blisters can be healed. Busted heads not so much.
Another thing is the clothes. So some peoples wear just what they wear. This is okay. It is good that they get on the bike to go someplace. They do not have to wear the uniform. Other peoples are wearing the bicycle uniform all wrong. Let me tell you some things. The jersey is never tucked into the shorts. Do not do this. Nobody is wanting to see the shorts waistline. The jersey does the work better when not inside the shorts it is. Also, it is important, do not wear the onderpants with the shorts. The shorts have the pad. Onderpants just make the awful feel and saddle sores. Wear the shorts with out the onderpants. This is the right way for wearing the uniform.
Some peoples ask me about the arm warmers. They say, “Johann, is the arm warmers under the sleeves or over the sleeves?” I say, it does not matter for the arm warmers. Just keep pulling them up. Only when it is too hot, you push the arm warmers down. This is not a problem we have much in my country. Only two days, do we wear the arm warmers. The other times it is too warm, or it is too cold for the arm warmers. You peoples in Georgia have good fortune. You can wear the arm warmers many days.
One thing more, and Johann goes away.
I see many of you when you ride. How is this that I do not see you make hand signals? You think car drivers read your minds? Please. Use the hand signs.
It is very simple. Just do it right.
This is Johann. Thank you.
