The Trans Cyclist

Well, it made me smile

NEW YORK, NY—In an inspiring story from the world of professional cycling, a motorcyclist who identifies as a bicyclist has crushed all the regular bicyclists, setting an unbelievable world record.

In a local qualifying race for the World Road Cycling League, the motorcyclist crushed the previous 100-mile record of 3 hours, 13 minutes with his amazing new score of well under an hour.

Professional motorcycle racer Judd E. Banner, the brave trans-vehicle rider, was allowed to race after he told league organizers he’s always felt like a bicyclist in a motorcyclist’s body.

Sometimes, the truly absurd is the best way to highlight the absurdities in the modern world.

“Look, my ride has handlebars, two wheels, and a seat,” he told reporters as he accepted a trophy for his incredible time trial. “Just because I’ve got a little extra hardware, such as an 1170-cc flat-twin engine with 110 horsepower, doesn’t mean I have any kind of inherent advantage here.”

Nope. I see no problem here.

Some critics say he needs to cut off his motor in order to make the competition fairer, but he quickly called these people bigots, and they were immediately banned from professional cycle racing.

Quite right too.

  1. So if I’m caught speeding in the cycle lane on my Honda 1300, I’ll get let off if I tell the court ‘identify’ as a cyclist?

    Wonder if I could say my name is Shirley Knott? This gag, as they say, has legs

  2. Being a mediocre middle aged triathlete, I worked out that if I competed against the likes of Gomez and the Brownlees at the standard distance, I couldn’t win even if I did use a motorbike.

    What puzzles me about the transgender business is why it has suddenly become such a massive issue. I don’t think that western society has ever been so tolerant of people with unusual aspects to their sexuality but suddenly transsexuals are apparently being ruthlessly persecuted?

    • But they aren’t, are they? This is a small minority of vocal activists who are demonising anyone who dares to challenge their agenda.

      No reasonable person has a problem with transgender folk. And transgender folk just want to get on with their lives without hassle. And they certainly aren’t in the business of screaming and wailing about there being 100 genders. Which, of course, there aren’t.

      This is all about a few bullies jumping on the bandwagon of tyranny.

    • Stony, perhaps you could compete with me !

      I am an Older Middle-age ( 68 ) computer triathlete : keyboard, trackball, voice recognition! I’m not quite world-class, but I can really rip them up on the keyboard with my Trackball !

      – MJM, who is also decent at tiddlywinks if they’re not too heavy for my back !
