Hi all, as a newbie here and to cycling as well I was wodering if there was a glossary of sorts anywhere around here. There are terms and abbreviations that are in use that it sometimes takes a while to figure out what they mean (i.e. LBS, shelled, dropped, rollers, etc.). Just curious.
Hmmmm. not that I am aware of, but just off the top:
1. LBS = Local Bike Shop
2. Shelled = figure this means being hammered on your ride by another rider or group
3. Dropped = if in a group, you can't maintain with the group and are dropped off the back of the pack
4. Rollers = a type of indoor ride trainer.
But here is the be all end all of anything bike related.
