the photo has all the makings of a "pissflaps look at me i'm special" classic photo.
with its tour de france aspirations conveyed by the now ubiquitous cyclists uniform worn by every two wheeler on the planet of the logod shirt and a pair of stripey fingerless gloves, (although the skinny pipecleaner legs exiting the shorts go a long way to dispelling the intended myth of the thunder thighed urban cyclo-warrior), the blacked out wheel rims and the lack of shiny stuff on the bike a la pimped up boy racer 1600 cc hatchback from the nineteen eighties, the dark sunglasses worn, (probably just put em on for the photo) , even though its a dull grey day with no sign of sun, the big fxck off dinner plate sized military style casio mudmaster g-shock watch (in black, quelle surprise), that thing by itself is enough to give you the biceps of a hercules and last but not least the pose. the skinny hairless old geezer leg casually cocked over the crossbar that screams "help, mid life crisis, insecurity, look at me, i'm still cool"
yes, the accessories and the ridiculous pose all scream young "dude", but the reality of the skinny legs, the big ears and the jowly face reveal the truth to be "oldie desperately trying to wind back the clock" ...... and of course , like every other oldie attempting the impossible, failing miserably and making a laughing stock of himself.
just like all the other deluded "hansum man" crocks that litter the asia expat scene.
