I've never heard of that in all my years of riding, and I've met some pretty strange people over the years.

I love this thread -- just wanted to bring it back to the top. It should have been called "Roadie Bashing".

Yes, but the fire is out or severely waning.

I, uh... I was just flipping channels. Yeah, that's it. I was flipping channels and my thumb cramped up and stopped on that show.

When I was racing DH back in 2000, my body armor consisted of a Dianese skinsuit a friend purchased from Myles Rockwell. It was definitely not the baggy style in fashion at the time (or now, for that matter), but it did a great job of protecting my..err, ass..as well as the rest of me, so I didn't really care.

...that was, until one race where the riders were all waiting to be staged at the starting gate, and my buddy Dan reached over and slapped my ass like a football player. Up until then I didn't realize it accentuated one of my more prominent features: my glutes. Thank God a full face helmet hides a blush.

I think it has more to do with them being from PA, then roadies.

Maybe the ass slappers had actually just farted and the gas was stuck with no way to escape in the tight lycra shorts thus slapping their asses released it in some way. Picture swimming trunks with air caught inside and floating toward the pool surface. Seriously though I have never seen this ass slapping. I have however seen bikers riding like they had their head up their ass, but that is another story.

hmmm....
I think the roadie hating in this lovely thread needs to be more closely drilled down.

Is it all roadies? There are a few different types you know.
-solo roadies
-racing roadies
-group roadies
-long distance roadies
-touring roadies

I'm sure I have forgotten a few.
So, do all deserve the attitudes this thread has presented?

What the heck is wrong with group rides? egads dude
We have a nice group of BF riders that occasionally meet up and go out for a fun ride. Some of the nicest people I have come to know.

Since you're talking about roadies, I'm scared to think what "BF riders" stands for.
