I'm right there with you. Briefly had their extension added to my browser until I realized that I wasn't going to buy any more stuff from them.

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.

Dude, that song used to be on my list for pump up songs before sporting events. The Distance was right up there with Fred Bear and Sabotage. Try rocking out with one of those songs and not coming away pumped to the gills.

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.

I think I'm developing a problem with embrocation. I find myself applying it even on rest days.

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 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"
