Ouch! Try Again. Ouch! Try Again. Ouch! Try Again...

A five-year-old's first ride without training wheels feels like more of a milestone than any birthday and just less of one than the first day of preschool.



I suppose it's time to buy him his first Junior Doping Kit, which comes with candy steroids, testosterone patches, an introductory level of EPO, a bundle of tiny plastic syringes, 5 bags of frozen fake blood, directions for a blood transfusion program, a counterfeit prescription to see a suspicious Spanish doctor, and a realistic-looking dossier from the UCI warning Junior of an impending ban from the sport.
