The satirical website The Onion once again casts its gaze on the habits of cyclists.
"Judging by the firm outward thrust of the woman’s arm and the length of times she held the gestures, witnesses confirmed Wednesday that a local bicycle rider clearly loves signaling turns," according to a fake news article on The Onion.
Those familiar with The Onion formula will recognize the post's mockery of the practices of one of the more zealous practitioners of a lifestyle, in addition to mockery of the traditional practices of journalism.
"At press time, sources at the local grocery store where the cyclist had arrived were confirming that she also clearly loved walking around with her pant legs tucked into her socks."
