Out of character for him. He usually doesn't get all tricked up. They make the guys wear a yellow helmet this year, otherwise, I don't think he would.

He is my favorite rider. I saw him race (and win) the time trial in Annecy in the Tour a few years ago. Those guys ride so fast the air makes an audiable "woooosh" when they go by. It's sick.

I have a 2009 Cannondale Six 5. Used to ride much more frequently than I do now, though I'm trying to change that back to my good habits again.

Here's my Schwinn LeTour that I bought when I was either 14 or 15 years old from my paper route money. It is the second one that I owned. The previous one in racing yellow was stolen So doing the math, it's about 35 or 36 years old. I recently put a new bottle cage on, new seat, tires and re-wrapped the handle bars. Still rides perfectly! I ride about 20-30 miles a week to make some attempt at staying in shape.

Speed Yellow

Like I said I am more of a mountain biker than road cyclist but I think Johny Danger would appreciate my Ritchey Classic.

For the serious cyclist... Ride one of these babies on the streets of Pismo Beach and delay traffic for two blocks and things will get serious. At least they have yellow seats and tops!

Is that a "surrey with the fringe on top" ?

I did ironman in 2010, so I was getting alot of miles in prepping for the 112 mile bike leg. I still have some endurance and got a 50+ miler in the last two weekends. I'm trying to get some speed back..... I lost some since training has been lacking.

But, best off Mr. Danger- we both share the likes of the speed yellow 986s. I am still waiting to post some pics of mine.
