剛開始騎車，急診大叔就跟我說了這些，嗬嗬，我以為他們是開玩笑，結果發現他們會經常如數家珍地引用。真的是一群頑固不化的老教條。
最著名的是第五條，閉上嘴幹活！嗬嗬，無數次在group ride時候聽到這一條。
第七條也是騎手們引以為傲的，就是時刻手指，手臂，大腿都保持清晰可變的tan line，說明你是hard core。這是我夏天的大腿。
第十二條和第二十五條，是很多丈夫們給自己打氣的，相搭配的還有一句，my biggest worry, is when i die, my wife sell all my bikes wiht the price i told her. 哈哈哈
第十七條，不要穿team jersey，除非你是那個team的。也不要穿環法的黃色或者粉紅點，那都是有特殊意義的。有時候看到有人穿了個sky的經典藍黑紋，大家就知道是個newbie
第九十條，不管如何緊張膽怯，都要隨時表現得很休閑鎮定，坐在top tube上。我覺得這個姿勢太帥了，但是我就是搞不出來。。。

其實我還是很懷念以前到處找century騎的逍遙時光。騎車徹底改變了我，從一個宅家吃小核桃的懶散女生變的積極樂觀堅強。也認識了許多熱愛騎車同樣積極樂觀的朋友們
自從開是大鐵以後，每次騎行都是有計劃有目的，變得很regimental,少了很多樂趣，因為這篇文章，我翻看著以前的照片，那是真的發自內心的快樂。這次打完大鐵，要跟教練要求free ride，嗬嗬
