If FEMA had the bicycles, would it fund Hustler's manlet bib?

I rode in the 39*f mist yesterday and it was ******* terrible, but what a better time to get back on the bike than when it's raining? I road until I cramped, whined a little, then pedaled back home. Winter sucks.
I rode 4 miles in the woods Saturday, then another two sunday, uphill on the street. Sunday was way harder and I was beat. I've got a lot of work to do to get in shape.

I know the feeling. I'm just getting crushed by everyone so severely that I'm back to riding solo everywhere.

Some cyclists get super cereal about aero:


And then there are these guys, whose "f*cks given" level is below zero.

Steven K. Roberts rode 10,000 miles all across North America on this, the Winnebiko, during the span of a year-and-a-half of nonstop nomadic existence in 1983/84:

While on the road, he also carried a laptop computer, HAM radio, packet modem, solar charger, etc., which allowed him to "blog" the entire journey on Usenet, in real-time, from the road.
In 1983.
Steven K. Roberts is the most baller cyclist that this world has ever known. And he did it on a heavy, steel-framed recumbent with no aero.

His second bike, the Winnebiko II, incorporated a more complex electronics package, including an HMD (think Google Glass) and a binary-input keyboard integrated into the handgrips, allowing him to actually type while riding.
