-I spend half of the year working in logging camps and forest management, complaining and whining that I don't have time to ride and it sucks not to be able to ride a 50km after work ('cause you are surrounded by logging roads and logging trucks);
-The other half of the year, I spend waaay too much time complaining that I don't have a bike nice enough to be ridden hard (on the road, at least), and no cash to buy a new one... while being unemployed;
-Daydreaming, planning and pondering about my best rides takes me more time than actually ride them
-I love to look pro and hardcore: even if I'm cruising the old city, I'll bomb down the hills with the proper "casual-but-aggressive" rider look: a pair of Race Face, Loeka or Salomon knickers, my cycling shoes, helmets, gloves...AND team bottle. But I'm nowhere near that fast nor cool;
- I pay attention to which socks I'm wearing 'cuz long top socks make my calves and ankles look fat;
- I usually start to put on my 3/4 cycling pants even if it's 2 degrees C outside and take great pride on enduring the cold, even if my legs freeze off and stay glowing red for the rest of the day
- I let my cables fray way too much before changing them
- I'm afraid of hydraulic disc brakes for my mountain bike; I'm also afraid of re-hopping on my saddle fast, thus preventing me from trying cyclocross (that I badly want to try)

and, finally, I am waaaaay too chicken to try any new tricks on my bike or harder trails: I prefer to rip beginner and intermediate trails because I'm afraid of having a bad fall, crash and be hurt (even though I played rugby for 10 years)!

actually, it should go in the i'm stupid thread!

I didn't know there was an ignore function.

I don't know how to use multi-quote.

You're welcome. :) I'm a firm believer in that. ;) Just look at the huge seat bag on my road bike in my profile picture. I'm a firm believer in being self-sufficient, so I carry what I need to do any repairs on the road.

Facebook is overrated; Bike Forums is not. I still have an account in both.

Too bad the 41 Hall of Fame selection is set; otherwise, this is a good addition to it.

When I was young and given money as a present for Christmas or my birthday, I would buy the simple Lego set i wanted for the past year and give the rest of the money to some one else less fortunate. Now when I am given money for Christmas or my birthday I do the same but with the entire amount.

Dont tell my family.

That, sir, is teh awsum.

This thread impresses me more and more the longer it goes on! The world needs more people like you. :thumb:

I think mountain bikers are more fun to be around than roadies. Unfortunately, on web forums, mountain bikers are dullards.

Whenever I get passed by a roadie, I always wonder how much he can bench.

I refer to it as 'swag'

i carry bags of kittens and puppies with me to hand out to any children who I encounter.

I bought my last road bike based on how good it looks, not how good it may or may not fit.

I have been on BF for a long time, hardly ever post.

Who could argue with this?

I wear a compression shirt one size too small under my jerseys

OH, and I have NEVER cleaned my Schwinn. Or my bicycle either, for that matter.

i was riding around in front of my house testing my new clipless pedals recently and, of course, unclipped the wrong foot and fell over. my neighbor's 7 year old daughter was apparently watching, she came outside and offered to give me the training wheels that her dad recently took off her bike.

i dont trust bicycle products made in china but i will give most anything made by shimano or made in taiwan the green light. i think sram sucks and campy is way over priced. *ducks head*.

I got the painter to sneak my bike into the booth in front of Rad's.

Awwwwww that is too cute!

+!

Apparently so did everyone else.

You might want to add another step where you put your clothes on, since you took all the time to set them out.

I change my breathing and position when I pass people to look like I'm not working hard.

Roger that! :speedy:

I'm a triple-pervert then. I have three '86 Schwinn Peloton frames, (25", 23" & 21" (collect the whole set, kids!)).
The 25 is built up, and I'm currently working on the 23, one part at a time. Luckily I have no wife to put up with my sickness.

Don't they allow new inductees annually??

If so this thread should be on the ballot.

When I pass people going uphill, I casually scratch my back to make it look like I'm not working hard.

My dirty old Schwinn still has a kick-stand.
