What cyclists want
 
Hi All, I am in the process of try to devise a plan to get discounts for cyclist on non-cycling products.

I just wanted you use your help for crowd sourcing.
What non-cycling products would you like to get a discount on.

So far I am working on home coffee machines :) and discounts for sport massages.

What other products do you guys use that getting a discount on would be handy?

Thanks

EPO.
Steroids of all kinds.
HGH.
HCG.
Stuff like that.

As far as I know, the only things I buy different from non-cyclists is cycling gear. So I suspect there's limited usefulness in the concept.

I like all those ideas but the retailers don't seem to want to provide discount on the product.

rub and tug massages

Coffee's pretty much a staple addiction... errr ... food for most bicyclists. So are energy drinks and come to think of it - anything edible! Donuts, pie, Power Bars, subs, french fries, ice-cream.... you name it (just don't forget ice-cream)!

So coupons at any place like Tim Hortons or other pit-stops would be great! :thumb: As long as there are bike racks provided. :notamused:

Groceries
Work clothing
Toiletries

Could you arrange for a 90% or 100% discount on those items?

Tools, Sunglasses, gloves, scarfs, blankets, tents, portable stoves, and shoes.

Ooo how about Spam? I'm sure you can arrange that, right?

How about a DYI testing kit to be sure that you're boosting just barely up to, but not over, the allowable level.

Automatic firearms. Something in a carbine flavor. It's easier to mount to the bicycle frame.

Tracer rounds too, it's hard to see where you're aiming when the weapon is strapped on the side of the bike.

there is no allowable level. What we need is masking agents. And spam

Burton 03-05-12 10:54 AM

Hmmmm ....... a courtesy WiFi outlet would be great at all our little pit stops. Some people on here need to check on their spam! :notamused: And if you can swing an outlet to recharge Di2 batteries and iPhones that would probably make you more popular than Gatorade! :lol:

But unless there's blueberry muffins - I'm stickin' with Timmies

I'll bet you're wrong. HGH, for example occurs naturally so there has to be an allowable level. The only question is how much. If a 50 percentile person could boost his HGH to that of a 90 percentile person, that would be an advantage and he wouldn't risk getting caught. Testosterone is another hormone that everybody has more or less of. Boost yours to the limit and you're a hormone enhanced steak away from getting busted.

I would like a discount on home mortgage payment, please.

good point, Landis got caught for too much testosterone. So what we need are masking agents for epo, and a good book about how to use hgh and testosterone without being caught. But most importantly, spam.

Thanks Slim Rider. I like the tents and portable stoves idea.
