Calling all cycle junkies I need your help

Sticky nipples
Editor:
Per Lennard's advice (2/8/05), I applied some Loctite to my nipples. The only thing I noticed was that my jersey stuck to my chest. It felt kinda nice, but didn't help my wheels stay true.

"Let's focus for a moment on ""J's"" publisher, then on J's slot
"This also begs the question: Why is a publisher turning to someone to write about something he doesn't know (and evidently rather lazy about doing research)? Or, if ""J"" (understandably anonymous) is not writing for publication, why didn't he simply tell his interlocutor, ""Hey, don't ask me. I don't know. Ask someone who does."""

This actually doesn't surprise me at all
"What about all the people who are being asked these days to do segments on marathoning, triathlon, cycling etc. -- for TV or the radio? e.g. the woman who was looking for ""cyclers."" I actually spoke to her. She was happy to move her focus to the marathon but she had absolutely no idea at all what might be entailed. Two days before the NYC marathon, she expected to be able to amass a small group of participants (as yet unidentified) and meet them at the start(!!) along with a camera crew."

You think that's bad?
"Look who's questioning the President at the White House.
Look who's covering the Police Dept. ""crackdown"" on bikes for the local TV news. (Don't look too hard. There is nobody I know of.)
Look who's explaining the impact of White House tax and social security programs on television at the level Krugman does in the NY Times. (Don't look too hard or you'll lose your eyesight.)
Lack of any knowledge whatsoever about a subject has never prevented any journalist I know from writing about it.
