With all of the gloomy and depressing news, statistics, and general BS floating around the Twitterverse, it’s about time we do something to lift up our spirits.
I’d like to hear your favorite biking-related jokes.
Since this isn’t a barroom and I can’t throw out the first drunk, I’ll throw out the first joke (compliments of Granddaughter Woo):
Why do some bikes have kickstands? Because they are too tired to stand up by themselves (rim shot!).
Ouch! Let’s hear your best (or worst) jokes.
See you along the I-O-Way next whenever.

There once was a cyclist named Jack
Who tried the RAGBRAI but fell flat
He thought he had trained and
when asked why he failed he said
I thought Iowa was flat!
My son just gave me a hoodie for Christmas. It has a depiction of a bicycle crank and a word below that says, “Cranky”. I told him it was funny, but like the Youngman or Dangerfield joke, I don’t wake up cranky. . . I let her sleep-in.
