What kind of weird activity is cycling that THAT is the most important metric?” Mail Donuts! Here’s what our friends think happened when aaron had a donut: -Tim Mooney: My answer comes in two parts (1) a GIF and (2) a lyric from the 1990 classic by Bel Biv Devoe. “Boy, I must waaaaarn yoooooou….” And yes, you should sing it. -Betsy M. in OK: You guys burn up enough calories with your awesome bicycle lifestyle to be able to eat anything you want in any quantity you want. (Mama likes to see her babies eat). -Eric Wiesz: It’s a donut! How could it not go swimmingly, especially on Mardi Gras! -@thelordflores (Ben Flores): Minutes of fun. Hours of drag. -@uncle3418 (Dan Flores): I think it went straight to your hips. -@wendyzworld (Wendy, trail snacker, dirt dawdler): Tastes great but then it feels like a brick in your belly? -@tntmoriv (Mr. T): #glazedolfashioned Best. Donut. Ever. [email protected] (you all should know Beth Hamon): I think they needed a spatula to get you off the ceiling. Fine Print Produced at STREAM PDX thanks to Open Signal music: Ryan J.
