Yesterday, on an empty country road, I crossed paths with a guy on a TT-bike. Wearing a TT-helmet. His head was bobbing up and down as he "gave it." Just before we intersected, and at the moment his head came back up, I gave a friendly wave.
He saw me. It was an empty country road. I know he saw me. But he didn't move his head or show any recognition of my presence, much less wave. He was probably working on his best time ever. It was clearly serious stuff. I spent the subsequent part of my ride thinking up clever ways of mocking him, but I've forgotten all that now. I'm only left with one impression: Twatt. Total twatt. |

He's going for speed. She's all alone (all alone) all alone in her time of need. Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course. He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse. He's going the distance......aaaahhhhh aaahhhhh....." |
I never thought i would wear cycling shorts (just basketball shorts) but now realize i would die without them.
I enjoy riding solo. I have no nutrition routine, i enjoy eating (in my mind i workout to eat). I have no idea what most of you are talking about when upgrading parts on your bikes. |
My bike is only too good for me for the time being.. I'm trying
I'm embarrassed to wear these tight shorts I'm liking Chamois Butter too much.. |

I bought a custom bike and used the excuse my 14 yr old outgrew his bike and needed my old one. It's a 2009 Specialized Roubaix.
I fitted my 11 yr old daughter to his "old" 46 cm carbon frame w/full Ultegra... She uses toe clips but I caught her pedaling with a funky gait yesterday and asked what she was doing... She said she was practicing twisting her heel out so she could get clipless pedals. I haven't told them about Bike Forums and n+1 yet but they are on their way to be road weenies. |
To often my wife runs more miles a week than I ride.
|
I have more than doubled my weekly miles running and have severely tapered off my cycling since the first snowfall. :(
|
bought a pair of used bibs once...and there was a stain on the back side of the pad
|
I am unable to grow hair on my legs
|
I think I'm developing a problem with embrocation. I find myself applying it even on rest days.
|
I enjoy dodging through traffic. :(
|
I eat Junk food instead of healthy food.
|
I spent the last 3 months growing my leg hair back and couldn't resist the temptation to shave them last week.
|
I don’t shave my legs. It isn’t about homophobia or being manly… I have shaved my legs, I just can’t justify spending the time. My legs are soooo much bigger than my face and I feel like it takes forever. People make fun of me for it but I just pretend I don’t notice it in much the same way I pretend not to notice the comments when I fart in the race pack.
|
I lied to a cute girl on an Pinarello about doing a century ride.
I have yet to get farther than 64 miles as I bonk too easily. Never before seeing her have I ever felt the desire to be a bike saddle. |

I ALSO TYPE CERTAIN POSTS IN ALL BOLD FONT, IT's GOOD TO SEE ANOTHER ONE OUT THERE.
OH, I ONLY USE CAPS TOO. In pack rides, I pretend to be weak by panting heavy and unable to hold my line but break away or increase the pace :) |
I ride a bike that is way to small for me .
I go to the LBS and check out bikes I want to own knowing I will never be able to afford it. |
— I have a bad temper. I've punched drivers and broken windows of drivers that have almost hit me or endangered my life while on a bike.
— I don't put the toilet seat back down — I don't put the cap back on the toothpaste — I've been a wuss when it comes to waking up on cold mornings. I'll curl right back up. — I watch chick flicks when I'm alone because of the warm fuzzy feeling I get inside when the people end up together in the end. — I also think I'm the only one that enjoyed the movie "The Human Centipede" |
I was excited to build a bike, but once I built it....I had no desire to ride.
|
I read no posts longer than 3 sentences.
