New Road Thread Needed
Geez...try and have a little fun in this thread by engaging in a little trash talk and some of ya blow your stack. Just trying to have a little fun, 53-11 style!!
I think another thread is needed, "Road Cycling for the Sensitive Type."

I think anyone with an user ID like 'TripleCrank' should be automatically blocked from the Road Section.

Well, I'm so hardcore that this weekend I broke my frame. It just couldn't take the kind of riding of which I'm capable. So much for steel is real - I need something really tough like cast iron, none of these darn hollow frames made of weedy tubes. 
Erm, sorry...
Erm, sorry...

Last month I was riding along and decided to start sprinting. So I jump out of the saddle and accelerate so fast that my rear tire blows. RAWWRRRR
PS I can bench like 5000 lbs...With my head.

I remember back in the old days we couldn't afford cycling shoes, so we nailed the cleats directly to our bare feet.
