I wasn't scratching, really.

My wife and I were enjoying a bike ride the other day when for some crazy reason my seat became loose. I hit a bump and the bike seat clicked backwards. The front of the seat was now tilted upwards, and had me sitting in a funny position. Of course this happened about halfway through our ride. It couldn't have happened coasting down the driveway at my house.

At first it wasn't awful, as I just pushed the seat back down. But as the ride went on, the seat just kept getting more loose.

So, let me paint a picture - I am riding my bike, and about what feels like every 30 seconds, I am reaching down deep in between my legs to push the bike seat down.

I am about 2 blocks from my house and a car passes. The next thing I hear is some kid bellowing "YEAH MAN! SCRATCH THOSE BALLS!!!!" from the car.

I knew it was coming. Somebody was either thinking it, or was going to say it. They didn't disappoint. The best part is that I essentially gave these guys a story to tell at parties about "this guy riding a bike, digging at his balls" which is completely untrue, but that is what they "saw".

You're welcome. :)
