Bike Forums - Addiction I

I forget how many water bottles I drank during the hot mountain century I did last year--I think it was 10 or so. The most I've ever drunk in a day. I just kept forcing it down because I knew it would be cramp-o-rama if I didn't.

My stomach growls just thinking about it.

I just noticed there's an organization called Major League Eating.

I think that's more up some of your all's alley than cycling is.

So I have two offers currently for my Trek Y33.

$175

or

7800 shifters.

I'm going to go for the latter should it go through.

Your TN is showing. I think you mean, "drank in a day."

Former hot dog speed-eating champion Takeru Kobayashi has been arrested at this year's event in New York....

Mr Kobayashi, the thin Japanese contender who smashed all previous US records in 2001, jumped a barrier and tried to get up on the stage while the crowd chanted: "Let him eat!"...

So let me get this straight. Even in eating, americans can't be world champions without keeping out foreign competition?

Help me here:

Lorry = trailer truck

Motorway = Highway
Car park = parking lot
Boot of the car = Trunk
Bunch ride = Group ride

Any more cycling related translations?

little correction

pavement = sidewalk. foot path isn't used as widely and tends to be for designated paths across countryside so you know you are not trespassing on land.
motorway = Freeway (maybe it is same as Highway). Basically the biggest roads
group ride=group ride

you might still see rear mech front mech meaning the gears. knickers...same as american in cycling but in general language knickers = panties.

Unless used in reference to the M25 in which case motorway= parking lot.
