Proverbs for cyclists

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's Pinarello.

Take not your machine to a shop where the 'professional mechanic' cannot yet shave.

Honor the graybeards in the peleton for they may yet have a few tricks to teach unto you.

Thou shalt not boast of thy time in the last time trial lest thy fellows produce the true results.

Practice thy sprint lest a wayward dog rend thy flesh from thee, thy foot from thy leg, thy hand from thy arm, and thy lycra from thy hindquarters.

Beware of the time thou spend with thy machine and thy fellows lest thy spouse hire a lawyer and divorce thee, taking thee to the cleaners even unto thine socks.
