After completing my brick workout yesterday, I came home and decided to mow the lawn. It seems silly to clean up and then get dirty again so I threw on a different shirt and shoes and went out into the yard with my tri shorts on and starting mowing the lawn. As I go into the garage looking for said aero bars, I realize I sold them. Now I'm stuck with a great prank and no hardware. I proceed to tell my wife about the idea and while she thinks I'm an idiot and said so several times, she liked the idea so I was determined to make this happen. My wife and I had a list of to-dos which got reorganized in order to take a trip to the local bike shop, CyclePath, in order to see if they'd let me borrow a set of clip-ons. When we arrived I spoke with one of the guys and he said they didn't have any lying around. My heart sank because I really wanted to make this happen. As I was leaving the store, I ran into Joel, the owner of CyclePath Pleasanton. [Yes, I'm plugging their store but without his help, my dream would not have become a reality.] As we were chatting, I told him my idea and he immediately went to the back of the store where they kept inventory and pulled out a brand new set of Vision Tech bars and said I could borrow them. He seemed more excited by my stupidity than I was. Now here's the thing -- if you're going to pull off a prank, you can't do it half-assed. So I decided that not only would I mount the aero bars on the lawnmower but I'd get dressed in the full getup in order to really have some fun. I was already envisioning how I would Photoshop the photo in order to take it to an even higher level. And without further ado, I present to you -- Lawn Mower Man:  Click the Image above for the full-sized version.
