An Ode to the Bicycle Man

Oh, bicycle man, where are you going?
You look like a CEO from a corner office.
Why aren't you at work?
Or have you found a money tree
that affords you the fancy bike and slick accessories.

Oh, bicycle man, why do you wear white?
No one should or wants to know
that your padded seat makes you sweat.

Oh, bicycle man, are you crazy?
This road has an 18% downgrade.
I will share this road with you
as long as my brakes work.
Now you are turning around
to go up once again.

Oh, bicycle man, why the funny shorts
that seem to highlight the fact that you
are a man with their white stitching?
I do not want to look, but your shorts
scream out like a sunburned obese
European tourist on a nude beach.
