How different do you need to be?

I just got back on the bike after a while away. It is a brilliant way to keep fit and healthy, and also it clears the mind like almost no other pastime can, for me at least. Out in the open air, at one with the world, I was reminded of a story that had me shaking my head at the time.
A few years ago, I went with a jet set friend of mine from Australia to the top bike builder in the UK. He asked to be fitted for a hand-made mountain bike. After looking through the options for different types of steel, colors and finishes, he told the owner he wanted something different. The old boy looked at him funny and asked, "How different do you want to be, we only make 5 mountain bikes a year!"
Anyway, he got his way, and if you see a chrome mountain bike around the streets of Sidney, that is my mate on a mega expression of his need to be different. I don't know that it will be rolling along any faster than the rest, but it will sure blind you more than most - the reflection off of his smile, that is.
If you ever miss a day without Pisstakers, you can find a daily snapshot of The Pisstakers Satire Blog Posts (ie the homepage) in the archives
Right, now it's time to relax. Enjoy the content.
