Don't understand this one... why would a bike have a bra?

Once went five months with no shoes but my Shimano shoes because I
only had the one bike and it had clipless pedals.

You can't cook because you store your bikes in the kitchen. (studio
apartment)

Hot guys actually start a conversation with you "do those pedals
_really_ have four sided entry?"

Translator. And I usually don't go to formal meetings. But I, uh,
eat dinner at the bike shop at least once a week.

When filling out your complete job application include the Tour de
Qinghai Lake under the section labeled "important holiday dates"
despite the fact that it was clearly intended for the important
holiday dates that you, as a foreigner, might have that are different
from the Chinese.

You are on flex time and are allowed to show up at work pretty much
whenever you want. But the only times you show up before 9 are when
the weather is nice enough that you'll be wanting to go riding in the
evening.
(in fact I'm currently frowning at the sunbeams outside for having the
audacity to not be there this morning when I decided to read a book
instead of crawling out of bed)
As for the rest of those, I decline to answer as to how many of them
are true.
