I am sorry I have to drop you because you look like Lebron James
 

Just throwing stuff at the wall, seeing what sticks...

As long as you wave when passing me.

"On your left!"

And because you're wearing NOT BIBS.

Is LeBron wearing NOT BIBS?

Unless he has been Lebron James, there is no way that he could match my speed.

Give him "the look".

Bron rides 900c tires, brah.

Can he dial it up to 400W? Drope the hamer??

That depends. What is your average speed? We all know that is most important.

LOL, I didn't bother chiming in on that other thread, but FWIW he's a great athlete in pro basketball but his body type = epic fail at pro cycling. Just sayin'.

Where's @PepeM ?

Sorry, keyboard weirdness. Good question though.




Guys. Believe it or not, I actually dropped LeBron James, and I'm just a Cat 4. I know, BS, right? Except it's not. I lived in Miami when he moved there, and his house was on South Bayshore which is the major bike route to get to Key Biscayne where everyone trains.

I was riding along, minding my own business, probably holding a steady 350 watts since it was a recovery ride, when an enormous man in a backpack on a mountain bike pulled out from a sidestreet right in front of me. I moved out into the lane, passed him like a fighter jet missing the cables on a carrier, and then realized people in cars were taking pictures with their cell phones of the guy behind me.

That's actually a true story. Yet more proof that he's a crappy bike rider. It also appeared that he was wearing compression NOT BIBS under a pair of baggy NOT BIBS.

Are you sure that was not NOT LeBRON JAMES?

It was definitely not NOT LeBRON JAMES.

Honestly, I'm not even kidding. He had on that same backpack and it was that enormous mountain bike, he lived next door to some family friends so I'd see him riding from time to time, but only droped him the one time. There is no way he could match my speed unless he'd been playing in the finals.

...LeBron would have laid back until the last climb, reeled you in like a slow salmon swimming upstream, and then smoked your ass in the sprint for the line. #inarealrace

False. There are no climbs in Miami. I'm pretty sure even if he was in a TT helmet I still would have droped him.

Drape the hamster!!!

LeBron's balance is still off after what Steph Curry did to him in the Finals.

I've got chunks of guys like LeBron in my stool.

Come on people, Lebron is not such a bad guy, as long as he's not talking...or nearby..or playing basketball..or staring down some Sirrus or whatever rider waiting to beat him off the line. Okay, he's completely annoying, insecure, and all that other crap we hear about him.

Unpossible.

He certainly does have that Cat 6 'about to pounce' look about him. The transparent attempt to obscure his intentions under a helment™ visor is a dead giveaway.
