Just noticed this one, posted to aus.bicycle last week:

Let me put this in a simple way that even our liberal readers can understand: If you cycle to work then the terrorists have already won. We need to deny them their victory, when you drive a truck you are sending a message to the terrorists that they can never defeat us. You show me a cyclist and I will show you a traitor.

Hilarious.

Bugger it, why not have another sample:

The other type of cycling is called "Road Racing" a preposterous sport which is mainly popular amongst the homosexual community. Most Americans do not regard this as a true sport, because the chief objective is to pose in the absurd skin-tight 'fashions'. This probably explains why road-cycling is the most popular sport in France. It's just typical that a degenerate, liberal, godless nation like the French would adopt a sport which involves adult men spending hours staring at each other's butts!

Of course, that's assuming it really is satire. These days, who can tell?

As a card-carrying member of the Republican Party for over 20 years now, let me assure you that STR is satire.

That is funny. It was quite a surprise to see that most of the Aussies racing in TdF have a wife and kids ;-)

Treadly and Me

Nice point from Crowlie. But then the heterosexual lifestyle could just be their professional "cover". Or maybe it's just that they aren't French?

Crowlie

Err... I was being sarcastic... Personally I don't give a rat's either way, it's the cycling I'm interested in.

Treadly and Me

No, I'm not in any way interested in the topic either—I was just following the general theme and tone of the harangue linked to above.

Fabulous satire, that is, if it really is satire :-|
