Me and biking is the same as a golfer with a $4000 set of clubs that shoots 102.

I got back into cycling after the second time I lost my drivers license.
I'm too poor for this sport.

thump55 05-04-11 01:30 PM

I confess...

sometimes after appying chamois cream, I sniff my fingers.

Trailblazer3 05-04-11 01:31 PM

Cycling has changed my life completely. Although I think 95% of the weight I lost came from my wallet...

guadzilla 05-04-11 01:33 PM

i spend way more on bikes and bike gadgets than can be justified by my paltry abilities and meager wattage.

And I actually *know* I have too many bikes.

I read Bicycling Magazine.

I spend too much time on BF.

I spend too much time combing over CL ads for bikes that I'll never buy.

+1

Let me add that even though I have a very nice bike (which was nice before I "upgraded" it), I will always want a "better" bike. But I have no business being on any bike "better" than mine. I will probably look foolish on one anyway. Also add scouring eBay for things that I will never buy.

I hope you apply it directly to the chamois.

Definitely +1 to being too fat for this sport and for shopping for stuff I'll never buy on CL and eBay

Adrianinkc 05-04-11 01:44 PM

I'm the fat guy that tries to ride with the fast group.

urbanknight 05-04-11 01:49 PM

When I was 12, I started stealing my mom's Victoria's Secret catalogs to... oh, wrong type of confession.

When I shop for helmets, I put them on and assume an aero tuck in front of a mirror to see how it looks on me.

Your supposed to apply it directly to the chamois?

Psimet2001 05-04-11 01:52 PM

Our chamois cream smells like thin mints so I confess that I occasssionally sniff it as well....but usually on others.

...I've said too much.

Either way works but I prefer directly to the chamois. Seems a little more hygenic in my little mind.

I'm a civilized individual, I just sniff it out of the container. :D

DEFINITELY THIS!!!

I am beginning to hate riding solo all of the time.
I know way too little about wheels
I am slower than I would like to be ( really DO care about this, even when I say I don't):o
I HATE hills.
I wish my girlfriend rode.
I do not like riding in inclement weather (all of you HTFU types....I hate you):D
I envy anyone who lives in warm weather climates.

Cheers,

Brian J.

All this (except the warm weather)

I'm that Fred that rides a Trek and wears a team leopard jersey.

maverick31210 05-04-11 02:11 PM

I'm obsessed with being faster than everyone else. If I get passed, I speed up and spend all off my energy getting far enough from the guy behind me so he can't catch up. Then do it again for the next guy I see. I get hurt a lot doing this when I mtb. If I can't pass a random guy it ruins my ride/day. lol so I always have to pass.

I'm a show off, have been since I was a kid.

I'll take any excuse to take my shirt off.

I get distracted on the roads because I too busy eye ****ing every cute chick that drives by.

I used to be a little chunky and lost it. I am now obsessed with my weight, more than some women. I turn down food and lunches at work all the time because I don't want the extra calories.

EDIT:

I HATE maintenance.....I hated cleaning toys when I was a kid as well lol....I always thought that things were meant to be used not cleaned....comes from my father who meticulously maintained all his nice things and tried to teach me to do the same. Perfect example, I wash my car once every 3 mos.

KillerBeagle 05-04-11 02:20 PM

I have a mirror AND a visor on my helmet.

I don't clean my bike or chain often enough.

I'm the slightly overweight guy that can't keep up with the medium-paced group.

I spent almost as much on my bike computer as I did on my bike.

I use a triple and I love it.

Blasphemy!

Nachoman 05-04-11 02:29 PM

I'm OCD about prepping for my bike rides.
The night before each ride, I set out all my cloths, put dry coffee in the plunger and pour the cereal in the bowl.
All I have to do when I wake up is boil some water and pour some milk and then i"m ready to go.

mrbUSA 05-04-11 02:31 PM

I enjoy too many beers or glasses of wine the night before a typical ride.

nondes 05-04-11 02:32 PM

I have a bell on my road bike - and I use it!

socalslowguy 05-04-11 02:33 PM

I've failed to wave back at someone who waved at me.

Too many bikes are almost enough! I would also add my "paltry" bank account to the top statement.

BillyD 05-04-11 02:37 PM

I'm not really a mod. The colors from the big star somehow got refracted and absorbed by the little star. I'm a fraud. Sorry.
