If your wife has a flat, it's your flat.

Everything will be alright...........unless something goes wrong.

Don't choose between big gears and spinning, do both.

That's an excellent quote, but its not axiomatic. It's an exortation. To me its more like utter fantasy.

On a long unsupported bike ride, if the number of CO2 cartridges is N, then the number of flats will be N+1.

If the number of bikes Tom Bombadil has test ridden in his quest for the perfect bike = N, the number of bikes he wants to test before making up his mind is at least N + 1.

If you aren't happy in your current situation, there is a good chance you won't be happy in your new one.

I am disappointed, we have missed a very famous axiom...

2+2 = 4

Two-thirds of the road on any bike ride is uphill. Before you can go down a hill, you must first go up one. After going down a hill, you must then go up one.

There is no such thing as a tailwind. Anyone telling you different is either lying or repeating a lie someone told him.

1.Uphill slow, downhill fast,

2. Dont ride Belmar after 9 am.

One of my faves: I'd rather have a frontal lobotomy, than a bottle in front of me.

Never trust a fart.

If you want a red light to change to green, reach down for your water bottle. To expedite the light change, drop said water bottle on the steet.

Ken Brown 07-09-07 05:21 AM

There is always a stop sign, railroad track, or a stoplight at the bottom of a hill. If it's a stoplight, it will be red.

There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”

jp173 07-09-07 09:22 AM

In biking ... whatever goes down (as in downhill) must come up (as in uphill)

When riding through affluent communities where the beautiful people live, the Rolls Royces, Porches, Mercedes and Jaguars will run you down if given the opportunity. It's best to remember they are very busy people on their cell phones. With the pool boy quitting, the butler on vacation, and late for tea and scones.... don't inconvenience them by getting in their way. :rolleyes:

Guys driving Ferraris NEVER hit you. They hit you when they're driving their wives' Mercedes.

Seems the other way round would be more appealing.

I'll drink to that. No, wait ... I'm confused. Nurse, more coffee, STAT! :)

All good things must come to an end, but mediocre things go on forever

I was on a boat in the Carribbean and a woman who had just gone through a messy divorce said,
"I need a man about as much as a fish needs a bicycle."

Knew I didn't have a chance there.

Is that new math?
