Monty by Jim Meddick for June 18, 2023

But a few customers live for those speed bumps.

Monty won’t have to worry about having kids.

lol Monty’s noodle arm looks like it has 2 elbow bends in that 6th panel (bottom left corner panel)

Just BEGGING for the Joe Biden comments.

I’ll take the Brooks B17 saddle, thank you very much.

I struggle on a bike even with padded undergarments.

Monty should get the Big N Comfy seat from walmart.

You know mister, I’ve never seen anyone have the whole saddle inserted up there. And horizontally too!

When fitting a bike seat, it’s not the padding. You need the proper size of seat to fit your body’s “sit bones”. Extra padding is a poor attempt to fix a fundamental mismatch between the seat and your specific butt’s geometry.

My dad taught me to use my legs for absorbing bumps so your bum doesn’t have to. You don’t have to “stand” fully up, just use your legs to lift your bum off the seat a couple of inches, take the bump, then sit back down. Of course we always had cheap bikes and back then there were not many seat options.

His prostate is now prostrate.

Hmmm….‘pretty sure Ted’s ain’t in Portland OR, where bike shops are routinely targeted by thieves…one’s been hit 4 times in the past year…

Looks like Monty got some pretty good air time in panel 3… ☺

They’re now in the same place as my tonsils. :)

This must be an old strip, French handlebars have been deprecated for decades. I don’t know how people ever thought riding in a crouch was comfortable or that there was that much wind resistance differential. It’s like those cheap net tailgates on pickup trucks. It was a crazy meme but was only beneficial to truck companies who were able to save money on tailgates.

Maybe it taint the right bike for Monty.

Think we can get the classic Robotman comics on this site?

It’s not the padding on the seat, it’s the miles on the butt.

A lot more padding.

Meh. Such pretentious (and expensive) bikes these days. My bike was a great old coaster-brake Schwinn, big, comfy….
