Turns out that wearing the same pair of spandex bike shorts for four years–especially when it’s your only pair of bike shorts and you ride pretty frequently–causes them to get a bit, er, thinner, in the lower butt region.
Sorry to those of you out there who’ve seen more of my backside than you ever wanted to.
I really think that anybody looking to lift their spirits should invest in road biking gear.
I can’t promise that you’ll be a good biker … in fact, you’ll likely be terrible your first few times out.
But the hip-hugging spandex shorts; the sick jersey with special pockets; the shoes that go clip-clop, clip-clop; the sunglasses that make you resemble Neo from The Matrix …
And then there’s the bike: shiny paint, sleek geometry, streamlined construction … awesome.
It doesn’t matter how many rolls are visible through the too-tight apparel or if you actually bought your sunglasses on sale at Walmart … trust me. You’ll look cool.

It’s amazing! So many different brands of these dehydrated impersonations of something healthy.
Leave it to Americans to take a food group virtually calorie-less, inject some some air and a load of fat, slap on a label that reads “Veggie,” and call a product nutritional.
