Just wondering which of you guys that was. :lol:

So you posted to tell us how stuck up you are?

I'd say Carlin's list would be a good start: ****, piss, ****, ****, **********, mother****er, tits.


Edit: Who knew you could say piss and tits?

I wave at all other cyclists. The ones who don't wave back are simply too busy pretending to be hardcore to wave back. I figure they're not having as much fun as me. So that's their problem.

The best part of that is that I get to remember it every time I read "deep dish" in a description on website.

The problem is you're focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.

The poor old guy might be very short sighted like me..... DAMN IT.

Really?

Because if that's true, you really suck at it.

I'm an old guy on a bike. Any biker waves at me gets a knuckle sandwich. No exceptions. Except the ladies.


Man, it's been so long since we've had a good "to wave or not to wave" thread. I forgot how much fun they are.

/ Brooks sucks.

/ Steel is real.

:twitchy:

I suppose I'll just take my bike to the nearest junkyard and see how much they'll give me for the scrap metal:(

elader 03-08-10 04:23 PM

When I am driving, I wave to every car that's going the other way. :thumb:

Come to think of it, in my career, I wave to everyone on the other side who are going up whilst I am going down...:cry:

Because nobody waves up north?

They're lonely.

I take it that wasn't her pet name before you got married.

BTW I wave to ANY cyclist I see, unless I am going down a nasty curvy downhill and I want both hands on the bars.

The words you can't say on BF are ####,#### and ###### thats it.

darrenm 03-08-10 06:51 PM

dont hate...he cant take his hands off the handlebar for fear of falling

Edit: Who knew you could say piss and tits?

Yeah, well we know we can say nipples, right?

But you can't say *****cat. What's up with that?

edit: for those who are clueless, the word above starts with puss and ends with y.

Red Lanterne 03-08-10 08:51 PM

I wave to most cyclists I see, old, young, fat, road nazi etc. I dont care if they wave back, if they do great. If not I could care less. Just saying....

That's cause they are SERIOUS cyclists! Ha ha.

monk 03-08-10 08:57 PM

I used to think a lot of cyclists I wave to don't wave back but I think what it is is that some just keep their hands on the bars and do the little "finger wave" that I'm not seeing. By the way, I love your "five times nicer bike" and "five times slower" comment. Be honest, if you could afford a nicer bike like that guy was riding, I bet you'd buy it. Just because he has a nice bike and is slower than you means nothing. No matter how fast you are, there are racers out there that could hammer you on a $120 Walmart mountain bike. Let the old guy enjoy his nice bike . . .

Looking at your location, it might have been me. If the old guy was riding a silver Giant OCR-C or a red Bianchi, it was almost certainly me. I didn't wave because I hate younger dudes that are faster than me.......which probably includes everyone on this forum.
And you're right, my bike is at least five time nicer than yours.

unterhausen 03-09-10 12:42 AM

Hey, us old guys are slow, maybe he waved after you rode past. Or he was bonking. Or said "hi" and you didn't hear.

I wave at everyone and don't watch to see if they wave back. It's probably just as rude as not waving.
