In this pic, I dunno if I was looking for the Mother Ship to return, or what I was eyeballing, but I do know:
1) I am thankful for Psoriasis! The tanning bed that I use to keep the lesions at bay makes me several shades darker than those pasty-white people behind me! :)
(There ain't much that looks better than a snow-white jock against a tan bod!)
2) You can't see it in this pic, but I have on hot pink raspberry glittery men's All-Star Converse tennis shoes that I bought from the Journey mall shoe stores to match my wonderful hand-made bow-tie!
3) The Erb's Palsy in my right arm makes that arm a full 4" shorter than my left arm, and it also makes for some interesting positions when holding onto and trying to balance and keep bicycle handlebars pointing straight ahead. (And my left leg, from the knee down, is twice the size of my right leg. That makes pedaling in circles EASY, but pedaling a straight line is somewhat challenging! he he
My nephew and myself are at the 13:00 point in this video:
But of course! I participated in 4 out of the 5 St. Louis World Naked Bike Rides that we have had in St. Louis since 2008, and I will definitely ride next year.
