You know, you see them lurking in the shadows, flying by you in a skin tight silver surfer suit (no I am not making this up). Nobody knows who he is like any proper super-hero. Then there is the grey wolf, A Tucson favorite. No not a recumbent rider but is part of the same fellowship. He howls. Yep and sews his own cloths, has huge gears because he never goes up hill and always has a gallon of milk on his tool belt. Wait….super-hero’s always have tool belts or at least belts. It’s all starting to make sense.
Then there was this guy, I heard his name was Dave. People called him leatherman. He rode a cruiser all day, never-ever sat down. Built like a brick shit house and the best part? Only wore a speedo…..ever….Mmmmm super-hero’s wear speedos on the out side of their outfits.
Then there is this guy….I don’t know who he is, seen him a bunch though. He has one gear….BIG and a sweet set of cutoff jeans. Nice enough but he looks a bit like Wolverine on the X-men. Hairy.
I found this guy on the Internet this week. Not from Tucson sadly, but he seems to fit the hypothesis. Most super-heros have to have a vehicle. Wonder-woman has her invisible jet, Batman has all sorts of things. This gent has a recumbobike
He has the boots too. Every proper super hero needs boots. But more importantly even more than military surplus outfit is the glasses. A little like cyclops from the X-men but backwards.
So, there you have it. Can’t be any other way. These guys are modern super-hero’s or as close as we really get to it. I am convinced.
