Well I guess I did learn something today. The word fop means “term for a foolish man over-concerned with his appearance and clothes”
In the context that the BS uses it seems inappropriate since the Riv way is to wear everyday clothes for cycling and not some lycra based billboard. or perhaps he is referring to the bicycle itself. I would think he would have added a suffix to address it as a "foppish" chariot. I still cannot believe people read his blog which makes fun of other people for sport. Thinking about it, his columns do have sort of a "Foppish” perspective. ~Mike~ On Sep 22, 11:25 am, Montclair BobbyB <montclairbob...@gmail.com> wrote: > Funny comment... but BS is forgetting 2 things: > > 1.
