What's your point?

You sound happy lol

Some?

Exactly.. some high quality movies have explored this phenomenon of elitist *******s in sport.. "Caddyshack" (Golf), "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story", "The Karate Kid", "Point Break" (Surfing), "The Big Lebowski" (bowling). It's nothing new.

I picked the right sport then, i guess... :)

Now excuse me while i admire my calves while sneering at those around me.

OP has evidently just discovered that jerks exist.

yup, i had NO IDEA they existed. i've learned so much here. amazing

Folks, he hasn't even started admiring his own quads or rear end yet. And his own farts, don't get me started ... :lol:

OP still hasn't told us how he discovered that people are arrogant without actually having any interaction with them


I guess the real arrogance is all these comments spouted out in response to the trolling.....

i really hope you're joking

You, too, eh? :beer:

Say it isn't so! I have it from highest authority that trolls are beyond rare here on BF!

I think we can close the post of the month competition. :thumb:

On my ride yesterday I stopped to help someone who had a flat tire, gave them my only spare tube, helped them install and inflated with my frame pump. In order to make it home when I was supposed to (my wife was waiting for me as we had plans), my ride transformed from a nice/casual Sunday ride to a heads-down/haul ass time trial to make it home in time. No return of any waves on the way home, but if the OP had seen me without knowing the situation, I suppose I would have been labeled as a snob/elitist...

I was riding out to my preferred road to do the prescribed intervals, so I wasn't really hauling the mail. The light I was stopped at turned green, I took off, and as I got halfway through the intersection, some guy on a bike wearing a t-shirt, and Bermuda shorts passed me with about three inches to spare. Either way, I just assumed he was the typical retrogrouch, that thinks anyone that may dress for efficiency on a bike, is a snob. I smiled to myself at his total lack of aero understanding, and went about my business.

I'm sorry, i am too busy sneering at your tubeless tires to reply.

I am. I never stopped admiring my calves or sneering at others... :)

(No really, I was being tongue in cheek with my earlier post and with this one)

Tubeless is for serious(ly up-to-date) cyclists. :notamused:

Do we think this thread went about as the OP wanted?

Sometimes people are in the pain cave. Even if it's 10mph on the flat.

So emboldened by the advice i got from you, i topped up the tubeless sealant (Muc Off is all i could find for now) on my wheels. Nothing has assploded yet. Am gonna stick to tubes on my road bikes (I get maybe 1 flat a year), but as a little learning project, am going to convert my Lynskey to tubeless soon. :cheers:

He should have snarked on triathletes. Nothing unifies roadies as much.

Around here it used to be recumbents.:innocent:

Nothing unites like a common enemy, even if it’s a scapegoat.

Ignore them. Ride your ride.
