      I love the “this is the last bike I’ll ever need” excuse… Joe, of all people, must be familiar with “n+1″!

        But Joe’s married, so in his case the formula is n+1 ≤ d-1, where ‘n’ is the number of bikes currently owned, ‘≤’ means ‘less than or equal to’, and ‘d’ is the number of bikes that will trigger a filing for divorce.

    I love the ‘puppy dog’ look!

    I see a similar thing daily when our 9-week-old kittens want attention :-)

      Right on, the look is actually more a cat’s look than a puppy-dog one. :)

      I guess the reference is this “pussy in the boots plays an innocent kitten” look from the Shrek movie. :) http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NJHoPJCEuW4/TzfLJSq5-AI/AAAAAAAAG_I/8PDdW4OJqII/s400/puss_in_boots_big_eyes_antonio_banderas_shrek_01.jpeg

      But Puss’n'Boots is a reference to Margaret Keane: http://snarkerati.com/movie-news/witherspoon-and-reynolds-have-big-eyes/

      I have never been able to make that work, I usually just ask for forgiveness

        It is sometimes better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

    Last bike he’ll ever need? Don’t anyone tell Mary about the formula for calculating the number of bikes a cyclist needs:

    x=n+1

    Where x = number of bikes needed and n= number of bikes currently owned.

      Oh to be at n+1. I’m in s-1 and need to get rid of one bike to get another.

      Either a Genesis Day One or an ICE recumbent.

    I’ve ridden only ONE bike since 2005. Heck of a bike though.

      For me, it’s definitely (n+1)+1 !

      I could have written that. I consider my “since 2005″ bike to still be quite new!

    I think we are all past the last time we ever need. In reality the number of bike you need is usually N-(n)=1. N is the number of bike you have now. n is any number of bikes beyond 1.  
    But, the number of bikes you want is hard to define, but you can the old formula N+(n+1)=
    ∞. N is the number of bikes you have now. n is what you have in mind for the coming season

    You really need at least 2, one to ride while the other one is in the shop.

      Or you can invite someone for a ride, even if that person doesn’t have a bike available at the moment… :)
      Or … And also… :)

    On the other hand, poor Joe *really* needs to tame that unibrow! Get thee to a salon!

      Get thee to a tailor and get a decent pair of trousers!
      (maybe someone could say). How would that sound to you?

      Please, trust me that I don’t mean to “attack” you in any way – I couldn’t be further from that! Just, if you like, think again about what you have written…? :)

      I would really like to (be)li(e)ve in a world where a person’s worth is NOT measured by the amount of hair in their face (or any other superficial feature).

Who’s Yehuda Moon?

Yehuda Moon works at the Kickstand Cyclery, lives on his bicycle and dreams of a day when everyone does likewise.

The comic strip is about two guys who run a bike shop and the challenges they face in the store and on the road. Yehuda‘s the utilitarian advocate; Joe‘s the go-fast pragmatist. Thistle Gin, a wrench and biking mom, rounds them out.
