A Multi-Sport Geek

Last month, during John Kerry’s snowboarding vacation, we noted his most characteristic fashion statement: the flower power zipper pull. It wasn’t just the zipper pull, however; the geekiness of the entire look was striking. Today Kerry went biking in Cambridge, where he again cut quite a figure:

Note the extent of Kerry’s color coordination, extraordinary for a guy: yellow and orange bike; yellow and orange helmet; yellow and orange tee-shirt with yellow sleeves. Note, too, the biking gloves, expensive sunglasses and politically correct “Buffalo Soldiers” shirt. And also, those legging-type things on his legs.
It’s really a pretty simple test: if you can imagine going biking in a getup like that, you are undoubtedly a Kerry voter.
