Amazingly you can rent a tandem bike in Newport Beach for only $10 an hour, but if you rent one to ride up and down the boardwalk with your brother (more on this tomorrow?) dudes will laugh at you.
A gang of young men rode past on proper bikes, and one of them said “look out, naughty boys”, which was somehow more withering than just calling us a name.
We also almost got struck by lightning on the bike, as a surprise tropical storm rolled in yesterday afternoon. We managed to take shelter in a local pub, but it would have been a very funny news report had the McGarry boys been electrocuted on a bicycle made for two. Think those Australian twins speaking in unison, but both of them just saying “Ai-ee-ai-ee-ai!”
Speaking of ocean boardwalks, I’m not sure I posted this seafood-centric joke the other day. Mr. Biscuits and his shrunken business.
