Only in Austin: Oct. 2010

Whenever driving through downtown Austin, cyclists are a common sight. You have to be extra careful not to hit them since some are not very attentive, and vice versa from my years in Hyde Park.

With the weather still being warm here, shirtless ones (male) are nothing new either.

However, this guy I noticed made me wish more than ever that my life had an Undo command.

While I was waiting for the green light at the Fifth and Campbell Streets, I noticed said dude walking his bike across the intersection. Again, standard fare. He was shirtless, wearing a hat, sunglasses, barefoot and then I realized he was also “pantless.” Not completely naked thankfully. He had some kind of “thong” with a pouch covering the obvious body parts. He wasn’t homeless though; the “thong” wasn’t a Chivas Regal bag.

As I quickly averted my eyes thinking, “Ugh! He really wants to trip in the back of a cop car,” I had to remember how this could only happen in Austin…and maybe San Francisco if they had better weather.
