Haiku.

[false_Aest]

lets be serious
post your truncated thoughts here
no extra words please.

[false_Aest]

1) to wake during night
red, blue lights on the ceiling
is that person still alive

2) anyone like us
knows the sound from blocks away
turn, look. hey, nice bike!

[Wilkinson4]

I ride but don't think
No thoughts running through my head
Just me and the bike

mIKE

[Nooch]

slept like crap last night
and baby isn't here yet
can only get worse

but awake at three
i could feel her there, kicking
her mother is done

[bocarider]

If "seventeen" had
Seventeen syllables, this
Crap would be a snap

[Nooch]

for what it is worth
sleep or no sleep for me now
i rode this weekend

visited some friends
at the donut shop they own
hot vanilla glazed

some stumptown coffee
washed it down and warmed me up
back to crisp autumn

[Bob Ross]

one week after I
got my bike back from the shop
I taco'd my wheel.

[Bob Ross]

Saturday, eighty-
five miles; Sunday - thirty-eight;
Today - less than ten.

[Bob Ross]

(Double haiku)

I spent the last hour
pulling glass shards from my tires
with a dental pick.

My wife thinks that I'm
being a bit obsessive
but I don't want flats!

[Bob Ross]

(Sextupal haiku)

Why so many shards
indeed. This is the question
I ask ev'ry day.

I get two thousand
miles from a set of tires
(that's if I'm lucky)

Seems low. But by the
time I hit 2k my tread
is a glass magnet:

Full of holes, rips, tears,
gashes the size of small fish,
and glass, all that glass.

I suppose I could
switch to Gatorskins, or those
Armadillo things

But that would be like
conceding defeat; I want
to ride fast tires!

what are you riding?
you should try open paves
wonderful tires

the mercury drops
but in SoCal, warmth persists
i miss hot cider.

[bluesea]

sloth a virtue non
avoid not play with grease and grime
shiny cup and cone

[Nooch]

The baby's too big
To be born au natural
C-section next week

[echelon_john]

All this baby talk
Distracts from Armstrong bashing
I like this better

[echelon_john]

Went to Kingdom Trails
Lots of singletrack up there
Heaven on a bike





My dog is confused
When I swear then laugh out loud
Reading this forum




First rides on 'niner
Twenty six inch wheels just seem
Inadequate now




Must get back to work
Writing without syllable
Limits is less fun

[Bob Ross]

all this talking in
Haiku makes me crave a nice
frosty IPA

[false_Aest]

higher-ed failure
college is the new HS
students get ripped off.


parents suckered in
by screens, flash and glossy print
tuition goes up.


Board sold sports to kids
i saw Hoop Dreams, didn't you?
better chance with art

[false_Aest]

you guys are dropping
the ball doesn't bounce unless
a hand smacks it down.

[drewellison]

I battle the cars
Commuting on my road bike
That one was too close

Here comes the damn rain
The forecast was wrong again
I need a new app

I made it to work
A bad commute on the bike
Better than in car

[echelon_john]

A thread from the dead
Cleared its throat, drew breath, and said
Danielson? A PED?

[ajhapps]

Sick at home today
Wishing I could go outside
Staring at my bike

[jlyon]

Water Bottles filled
Pump Pump Pump Pump Pump Oh ····
What's that in my tire?

[EPIC! Stratton]

Diving through traffic
like a Peregrine falcon
Wheels in lieu of wings

[EPIC! Stratton]

Golden hour riding
Road bike is calling my name
But cross is coming
