"The 33"-Road Bike Racing - Poll: Wussy or Sissy what am I?

Okay so I've been called a Wussy by 600DA because I train to race and judge whether or not that training has been sucessful on my race results.

DreamTheater has called me a Sissy because I ride rollers.

Now I'm not completely sure what the difference is and I'm not sure you can actually be both simultaneously. I need to know so I can fix my sig to show the proper state of my wuss-sissyness.

You are swissy.

I don't know what you have going on but if it is catching stay the hell away from me. :D

you're a wussy for asking such a sissy question....or is it the other way around?:D

I don't know what you have going on but if it is catching stay the hell away from me. :D

+1!!

You're a wussy because you listen to The Smiths.

You need to balance things w/ a dose of Motorhead. It's all about balance, ying & yang and all that good stuff.

Oh have balance..my ipod is chock full of Iron Maiden, Metallica, Zep etc etc.

Pete I'm leaning toward Swissy...it covers all the bases.

B*tch isn't an option?

Being swissy would give you an excuse to buy this. It's Swiss, so close enough.

I have to be careful not to surf BF when my chem class is taking an exam...once or twice i've laughed hard and the wonder what the !bleep! is going on, so I stopped.

More than a few times I've spilled my morning cafeinated beverage on the keyboard from laughing so hard at something...

Please see my new title.

Is 600DA a real guy? I don't think I've actually seen him anywhere...he's sort of like snuffaluffagus on sesame street where everyone talks about him but no one ever sees him.

I want this.

Only a putz would ask such a question.

I'm voting "wussy" just because of the history.

How does riding rollers make one a sissy?

The one, the only... R600DuraAce (http://www.bikeforums.net/member.php?u=2482).

Not to be confused with Snuffleupagus (http://www.bikeforums.net/member.php?u=2482).

Swussy? The chemical equation would look like this (Snick may need to correct me though):

Sy4 + Wy + Py3 - EPO + o2 = (Common name) Austin Monkey Boy?

Easy on the 'Swissy' cracks, you'll drive Blondathalongirl to her Secret Chocolate Stash.

I'm actually working on lecture notes for this afternoon, so I have my math typesetting program up.

I have this:

But I WANT this:

With my 909's. One second a mile. That's all I'm asking for right now.

But what I ought to be buying:

I saw that Felt TT bike at a ToC display in SF during the Prologue. Oh, that is sexiness to the max.

Buy that so we can have a contest between you and DRWJO for sexiest TT rig

I don't have any more room for more stuff. Besides I need to improve my TT times a lot before I can
justify a really sexy TT rig. Right now I have 6 bikes in the apartment - 5 of my own and now loverboy leaves some of his at my place to. egads.

Good point. Being too frail to lug a spare tube and having your wife pick you up when you flat - THAT's a sissy! :eek: :D :beer:

You are both since you actually listen to R600DA and Dreamtheater!! LOL:p :D

First I'd like thank all of you who have participated in my little poll. Next I'd like to really thank all of you who voted option 4 ;) Then of course thanks to Doc Pete who picked the perfect combination of words. I am Swissy! Lastly Damocles I'm a lot of things but I'm nobody's b$tch.

How does riding rollers make one a sissy?

I'm not really sure but here is the quote

"Rollers are for sissies.

Fluid trainers are great. Better resistance than rollers. resistance curve actually duplicates road resistance....unlike magnetics and wind.

very few pros or aspiring pros use rollers....ever.

If you ride enough, you will develop good technique and balance. You don't need rollers for that. Trainers such as fluid trainers are more effecient than rollers at building power and fitness. If you want to be a ballerina then get rollers."

EDR is a Swissy ballerina monkey boy. :D

Ahh but I'm so much more...according to the addle brained Patencad I'm also a weenie...this makes me a true renaissance man.

Let's just say, nobody's going to think you have French threading. ;) :p

sorry i missed the rollers thread. i guess dreamtheater should have been at all the last world cups and world championships in l.a. like i have been. every single rider was warming up on rollers, i didn't see any trainers. watching those guys and girls rev it up to 150+rpms and barely use more than an inch or two of the rollers is pretty impressive or watching some of them ride no hands so still it looked as if they were on a trainer.

so guess pros don't ride rollers, just world champs

I guess I'd rather be a Swissy with balance ;)
