I Would Like to Introduce You to The DrunkCyclist

I would like to share a post and info from Drunkcyclist.com on facebook





I love reading their posts informative small posts like "According to #science, alcohol is a solution." It is a great page and blog Drunkcyclist Blog to follow here is the basic info about him....
Drunkcyclist.com is the original cycling blog. Ten years ago, it was crafted by one man - Big Jonny - who had a pc, an ftp program, and microsoft word. fast forward past a decade, and the site has multiple contributors, all friends, who publish their varied perspectives on bicycles and the periphery of living a two wheeled life. "Two Wheels, One Dark Lord"

And lets face facts, biking and beer is what we are about.....
 This particular post made me laugh out loud, so figured I had to share.....The post itself is just simple yet very informative info but attached to the picture was what brought it togetherand made it very funny as well.

 Big Johnny does this a lot there is one on the page about the rails of a saddle which is interesting but I will let you go there and discover it yourself. Anyway here is the post that entertained me today....
Many nights I lie awake and ponder the existence of camel toes, and through research have found some pretty amazing facts about the feet of those silly long-necked ungulate mammals. For instance, they do not have hooves, rather a two-toed foot with toenails and a soft footpad. The main weight of the animal is borne by these tough, leathery sole-pads.
Camels have the ability adapt to their environment, and in steep and rocky terrain, can move the pads on their toes to maintai...n grip. Also, a camels' gait and widened feet help them move without sinking into the sand.
They ought to be careful though; while the soft, flexible foot of the camel is ideal for walking in a hot, sandy desert, the very softness that makes it good there renders it vulnerable to various hazards. Domesticated camels who carry loads over long distances can end up limping on swollen feet from walking on hard, unyielding roadways. The soft sole is also at risk for injury from sharp rocks, bits of wire, glass and other such hazards. Disinfecting wounds can help, as can wrapping the foot with a protective covering. ‪#‎themoreyouknow
