Please elaborate on acronyms...
 

I'm still new to cycling, and when I read some of the BF threads there are many acronyms such as TT, MUP, etc. Can someone please identify the meaning of these two and list any others that one can think of?

TT = time trial or top tube, depending on context.
MUP = Multi-Use-Path, aka bikepath, aka assisted suicide

SP
Bend, OR

That list missed so many important ones for those of us who tweak our bikes instead of taking them to a shop for "adjustment".

TT - Top Tube
DT - Down Tube
ST - Seat Tube
HT - Head TUbe
RD - Rear Derailleur
FD - Front Derailleur
SP - Seat Post
DO - Dropouts
CP - Centerpull brakes
SP - Sidepull brakes
FS - Friction Shifters
BB - Bottom Bracket
FW - Freewheel
etc. They're all kinda' obvious, mostly.

Wait until HTFU.

Really? I always thought it meant "F** this S***

...oh wait, same thing.

HR- heart rate
MHR- maximum heart rate
RHR- resting heart rate
HRZ- heart rate zone
HRM- heart rate monitor
LTHR- lactate threshold heart rate
FTP-functional threshold power
PT- power tap
OTS- off the saddle

OTF - off the front
OTB - off the back
LSD - long steady distance

STFU. Shut the **** UP

Googled "cycling acronyms" and found this. http://www.cyclingforums.com/t/47276...iations-thread

For me 'TT" = TerraTrike :)
