Cheaters, dopers, fakes.

Technically, but I've been here since I was five (sans schooling). For whatever reason, the local accent hasn't stuck, or so people have told me. My parents/family are from parts north of here, which is probably a factor.

They have schools in Knoxville?

Velo Vol 

There's a driving school, ironically.

The staggering amount of time and energy I have to spend...
instructing and training the vast minions around me...
so that, one day, maybe, a few of them, just might...
Rise up out of the masses far enough...
To fully comprehend...
the magnitude of my Genius

So much work

luckily lately, most of that work has proven successful in forums and Facebook. But still, I find I need to strategically belittle and cut down, in order to really, fully, showcase the chasm between My Skill and the Average.

Crap! Don't tell anybody!

That would be cheapest, lightest, bomb proof wheels.

Cyclists. Get a car you hippies.

jdon

Joggers in a dedicated bike lane. I will ride to push them into traffic rather than them, me.

Aerobars on hybrids + people that mount aerobars on a road bike, but keep a very upright position.

Falchoon

Commuter cyclists that think they are in the TDF on their commute to work on a shared path
Shared paths where pedestrians walk 5 abreast and make no attempt to move out of the way when a cyclist is trying to get past
Trolls that embrace Cadel Evans/Wiggins/other pro cyclist when they are winning TDF but are trying to run cyclists down the other 364 days of the year in between writing their vitriol filled replies to cycling newspaper articles
Matt paint on high end road bikes
Riders that use deep carbon wheels as everyday wheels
Facebook
People that write "break" when they mean "brake" and "disk" instead of "disc"

Dudelsack 

Noisy drive trains on century rides. Crap, Scrooge only had to listen to Jacob Marley rattle his chains for a few minutes.

Reynolds 

Actually cheapest, lightest, BOMB PROOF wheels!

How about when they ride "rode" bikes with "presto" valve tubes?

I don't like when people they don't use the gears, they put in a hard gear and struggle and they do it at stop lights. You got to treat your bike as if your driving a manual car, down shift if your slowing or coming to a stop and up shift if you are speeding up.

+1. "You paid for those chain rings and sprockets, be a shame if you didnt use them"

The other day I passed a girl going about 10 kph against a strong headwind on her big ring/small sprocket - her cadence must have been about 20 rpm. I was about to tell her something about gears, but then I thought it might be misinterpreted and rode away.

jtwilson

This is exactly how my ex rides. Always in the highest gear spinning like 20rpm. She says it's what she likes. Pretty strong rider too.

Hardly anyone under the age of 30 knows how to drive a manual anymore.

Once upon a time I was at scenic Milford Sound in NZ, and saw this woman taking pictures. My first thought was that she must not know much about photography because it appeared that she didn't even know how to hold her camera. For a brief moment I thought about offering her some tips, but then reconsidered and decided to mind my own business. Later, she struck up a conversation with me, at which time I learned she was a professional photographer from the US, sent to NZ to take photos for a national magazine. Man, I was glad I hadn't opened my mouth earlier.


My pet peeve: Cyclists who berate others who ride nice bikes that they supposedly haven't "earned."
