Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I usually get on this forum for cool bikes that make me lust for a new ride. But really all I want is time to get out to ride!

Don't bother riding in the US. I'm an American, which means I ride in the US, and if I happen to ride on the same road as you at the same time (which is bound to happen soon), I will defeat you in a humiliating way.

FYI, I don't use a power meter. I use a dynamometer. So, yeah. Watch out. Best to play it safe and not ride.

Regards,
Me

This happens way too often!

I use those a$$holes for Intensity training sessions...When they cut me off, I tend to get up and on it, and try and catch them! I caught one guy who thought it would be cool to spit on the cyclist! You should have seen his face when I caught him!

if the spit hit the cyclist it's a crime in some states. misdemeanor assault.

I think it can be worse than that in California, especially considering that the people who would be brazen/stupid enough to spit on someone else in public are likely already on probation or have prior charges.

This guy was in a car with three other people. And when then went by, I just happened to look over, and saw him spit, and saw him and the other people in the car crack up laughing!

Well, I caught him about three miles up. He was getting out of his car, along with his friends. I road right up to him, and pinned him against the wall with my front wheel between his legs, and the palm of my hand on his collar, and ask him, so you think it's funny to spit on people!


I can't remember everything. I can't remember what he said. He did say it was stupid and he was sorry. He is lucky he was a dumb kid. He was in his 20's. You would think by that age they would have some common sense!

I am pretty sure he never did it again!
