Southern California - Are you viewed as a SERIOUS RIDER to your friends?

But I don't drink coffee.

not realizing she was already alseep!:o I thought when you are married snoring is consent. I know it was in college. j/k

Those are the bikers you drop on the big hills but will still talk to you when they catch up to you at Starbucks.

:)

i drop bikers on big hills? :p


greatness.

But I don't drink coffee.

Then you can't be a serious cyclist.

Oh, darn the luck.

I guess since I don't shave my legs that's another disqualifying factor. :p

Yes. If I had friends they would view me. Possibly as a seriouscyclist.

Correct. You're a poser-wannabe-clyclist if you have hairy legs and arms. :D

Steve. You ARE a serious cyclist.

My club thinks I am kinda of serious when we get back from a Metric century ride, and I take off for another 15 k to do some errands. They also look at me a little weird when I say the car has not moved in 4-6 days , because I use my bike instead for all errands that can be done on the bike. A new rule .

Are you French? Just curious. :D

I'm not serious in the sense of being ridiculously fast or a strong climber or dressed in full kit or riding carbon fiber or anything like that. But I'm serious about NEVER driving to work no matter what the weather. After the first full year of commuting, my co-workers stopped thinking I'm nuts. Or maybe they think I'm so crazy that they'd best not mention how crazy they think I am....

My wife got a work visa enabling her to teach for a couple years. so we are here for at least two more years. Maybe more. After we resolved some health issues , we decided to do an early retirement and live overseas for awhile. It's been interesting.

Steve. You ARE a serious cyclist.

How could Steve be a serious cyclist? He's got that rickety old steel bike with only 12 speeds and no computer! We won't even mention the hairy legs.

12/20ths serious.

Your bike still smells of the Taiwanese beer that came in the cans it's recycled from.

Because he can beat all our asses up any hill any day with perfect cadence (I mean really, he looks like he's floating), without breaking a sweat and without so much as a single grunt.

:roflmao: Oh, yeah, and he can smoke all of us and keep his sense of humor. ;)

Like the saying goes, it's all about the engine, not about the bike. Assuming his rust bucket qualifies as a bike.

I will use an irony disclaimer, henceforth. :p

Float like a butterfly.
Sting like a Tarantula Wasp.
