I remember back then I would be out training before
and after school on my white Bottecchia wearing
my Ricordi Vini kit. I couldn't even bring myself to
look at them, they looked so lame, riding their heavy
dept store bikes with those steel handlebar carriers
and kickstands.

They seemed bitter towards me, I guess it's not nice
to have to pack newspapers and then see some
top level cyclist like me out there looking so good.

I wonder whatever happened to those kids, probably
riding some stupid hybrid to work everday so they
can feed a bunch of kids back home. Sad!


Here's hoping that you don't gross out too many sad lamers on their stupid
dept store hybrids when your overinflated ego suffers a blowout.

I hung around the Vancouver Sun paper shack in Port Coquitlam until I was the shack manager.
delivered from about 50 dailies to max 75 on Saturdays. Did any one here ever go to the Sun
paperboys' Camp Gates on Bowen Island?

I never really got along very well with those types.

Hey don't call my dump bike a "department store bike" !! And kickstands were for sissies.
