Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Cockpit ..... as if a stem and handlebars are somehow similar to airplane control systems.

The term "cockpit" came from ships. So it's a bike or it's a plane, not a ship.

And it took Three Pages before these gems appeared? WTH is wrong with you people?

and don't get me started on the "I won't wear a team jersey unless they pay me" crap.

Nobody thought I was on team Radio Shack last Saturday or Euskaltel-Euskadie the week before. (I told them I was working for the CIA instead)

Brifters. I could kill when I see that word. Do any of you idiots realize that none of the manufacturers of shifters call them brifters?

Well Shimano calls them "shifters". Let's stick with that.

No. They call them "dual control levers". Good luck with that.

The worst phrase used most often?

Unfortunately "Oh s**t!" Followed shortly thereafter by, "Oh f***, that hurts"
