General Cycling Discussion - Red Bull Rocks

It seems around knoxville they have 6 gazillion redbull trucks. I run into a redbull truck like once a week and you know what that means? FREE RED BULL! So yeah...I got to look at some hot chic who gave meeeee something for free. rock on! OK enough rambling :D

So what's Redbull and why don't we have it down here in upside down land?

it's a energy drink or w/e...but I don't drink it for the energy...oddly enough I like the taste of it. call me crazy. it's really good... I lived off the stuff for a while, but 2 bucks for a 8 oz can or w/e got real expensive when I was drinking 10 dollars of it a day.

The day you liberate yourself from the evil grips of caffine will be the first day of the rest of your life. Pure evil I tell ya!

I don't drink much anymore...I still enjoy it once in a while.

Don't drink it before a ride though. I've known plenty of people who have suffered massive nose bleeds by mixing Red Bull and a higher exertion level

Are you serious?! What, if I want to increase my energy level should I consider?

Red Bull+Jagermeister=Psychosis.

Ever tried BMX trix on a touring bike with panniers and,(wonder of wonders,) wrecked? :eek:

no I can't say I have! sorry!

vile stuff, red bull is. we got some in the shop last summer, and i took a swig and almost gagged. it's the only energy drink that tastes like meat. gamey meat. and i'm a vegetarian.

give me enervit any day.

isn't red bull mostly sugar?
Hardly a diet drink.

no one said it's a diet drink. it's a stay up all night and partay drink. poor man's cocaine.

Redbull is a upper at first, then a downer. Yes, over the counter DRUGS!!!

Hahahaha...thats funny. When it came out thats EXACTLY what it was for. Poor mans *X*...they would sell it at raves in order to get people off the drug itself. Now it is a popular drink that everyone uses except those kids.

I don't mind the stuff (even with the meat flavour...hmmmmm meat) but I still prefer a good coffee...

Ignore the hand prints on the monitor... gotta clean that. ;)

Last week I pulled 4 all nighters, working on the backend of bikeforums.net and a freelance clients site. 13 can's of redbull in total... the Jager was given to me yesterday by a touring cyclist. I let him spend monday night at my place, he saw the redbull, and got excited about jager bombs. Sadly, he left before we could break it open, and I'm outta redbull.

BTW, check out this link TRD: http://www.redbullartofthecan.com/gallery.php , thought you would enjoy it as much as I did.

Redbull gives you wings. Well, Redline straps a rocket pack on your back! The first time I drank bottle I was off to the races. I was pacing back in fourth for hours. It scared the hell out of me. Now I just use a sip or two. I should have read the warning label.

Howdy,
Too bad they dropped the DH at Virgin Utah after this year...

M.R.

Redbull is especially yummy with vodka.

(hrmm...typing is so much harder wearnig cycling gloves....)

I like Redbull...the taste of it is very good :D Meat? I dunno where you get that, but OK. I dig it alot. Nice artwork though.

i find that it has a kind of acidic viscousness that i associate with greasiness. i don't drink soft drinks much, so it could just be an aversion to soda. of course, it could also be the taurine.
