Join the club...

After this morning's close call with a van, I'd say my worst habit is getting sloppy about stop signs.

better than me...until recently hardly ever used that front one at all

i admit i get distracted by hot guys and i stare at their calf muscles... then i lose concentration and wobble... looking like a total shmuck!

I'm easily distracted by female cyclists.
However, that is not limited to cycling (the female part).

Bad habits:
1) Adjusting the family jewels (not so much with cycling shorts on)
2) Scratching the rear.
3) Spitting, farting, and burping.
4) I get bored and start staring at buildings along the cherry creek trail. The problem is that this trail is busy. I end up riding at 5 miles an hr while I stare at a particular building.

aha, same deal, especially the last one. I also have a bad habbit of bringing way too many bikes home from the trash!

Because the fixed is so silent, not saying "on your left" when I pass and scaring the crap out of people.

I refuse to shoot nose rockets, so if I have a bad one, I might get caught nose spelunking...I try not to do this on group rides, but I do admit sometimes I deliberately get "dropped" just to get it out, then I kick it upa notch to get back with the pack.

My bad habit is the worst!!!!!!


Too many rest days!!!!

I smoke cigarettes while I ride...

Also, I sometimes get ashes in the faces of the riders behind me while I am smoking and riding.

I do this sometimes, but not with a fixie.

I discovered today, my worst biking habit is yelling back at road raged cagers. Especially the fool that got so close today I could see his headlights under my arm while he was honking.

I soon REALIZED I WAS ARGUEING WITH AN IDIOT, and spectators cannot tell which is which.

Why is that bad?

So evil...

I also ride in jeans and don't own a helmet.

Drooping my head when fatigue sets in and almost crashing into parked cars at the roadside.

"... nose spelunking ..."

BAAAAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! That's great! How about greeny mining.

=v= I wreak havoc, lay waste to entire communities, destroy public transit by using my bike as a missile, and otherwise set the cause of cycling back 100 years. But I'm trying to cut down.

Weaving in and out of traffic too much, and pulling over at every other park to smoke a doob.

That works, but I think "mining for snozz gold" has a better ring

Unfortunately, the only time I ever argue with an idiot is when I'm by myself!

i forgot to mention belching....and PROUD OF IT!

i ride with no hands, drink to much water, ride on the center median then move to either side when a car is coming, or turn on my super bright light to try to blind on coming cars in the middle of the daytime

my worst habit is being able to read what cars are gonna do, which includes cut me off. And even if I know they are going to cut me off I speed up and challenge them, just so I can yell at them and give them the finger.

All of the above.

OK, here's one I finally broke myself of after several near misses.

It goes like this. You're on a quiet road and hear [and then see in your mirror] a car coming up behind. You ease just a little to the right if you've got the room and let them pass. THEN you ease back to the left, dropping kinda' into the car's wake. . .ONLY to find there was a second vehicle behind the first!!! D@mn!

As I say. . .I finally stopped that maneuver.
