I was cycling this morning with a group of riders in a huge peloton. For the non-cyclists, a peloton is when a group of riders ride close together so that we all take turns to block the wind from the front. That helps us conserve energy and makes it easier to ride long distance faster.
Let me google up a picture of a peloton.
Here this is what it looks like.
So I was riding in a group of maybe 50 riders today. Of the 50 of us we don’t all know each other. In fact we mostly don’t but everyone is generally friendly. Everyone seems to call each other “Bro”. In fact since I started cycling for some reason I have the habit of calling everyone Bro too. We call each other Bro at all sorts of times. Even when I got scolded (well okay not really scolded) for doing something wrong while riding in a peloton , the guy said “Bro… next time right…”.
Anyway because we’re all riding so close together, the whole time we’re all focused on the guy in front of you. Either looking at his rear bicycle wheel or his butt.
I was following this guy and keeping a close watch of his butt when I suddenly notice his bicycle tights have two small holes in the middle of his butt. If you look closely through those holes you can see his ass (we don’t wear underwear with bicycle shorts).
At first I thought maybe it’s a new design for shorts.. but as I looked closely I realized it was tearing around the seams. I rode right up next to him and then went
Me: Bro…. I think your pants is tearing bro!
Him: Huh? Really??
Me: Ya bro.. can see your ass eh.
Him: WHAT?!?!
Me: A bit bro.. a bit only.. Can only see a bit of ass.
Him: WHAT?!?!
Me: Don’t worry bro… it’s a good ass.
And next thing I knew he dropped out. I think he stopped to check out the tear and then maybe consider turning back before it got worse.
