I stuff socks down my bike shorts to make my package look huge.

I've felt like ****e every morning and evening for three weeks and have only ridden once in that time. It's driving me completely crazy and my wife seems to think it's a "nice break from all that cycling". Time to just HTFU and ride anyway!

Socks? You also need to add large Bratwurst to the socks. The cool thing about bratwurst is when dogs smell you as you ride by you get the added benefit of having to sprint as fast as you can to max VO2 levels. It's really cool, you should try it.

I have to confess that I have a confession that just too embarrassing to confess

I really don't have any strong feelings on chain lube.

I put this $15 ebay saddle on my bike and find it comfortable for any kind of riding (longer ride this year was a century)

I've never spent more than $500 on a road bike.

I love poisoning fire ants.

My summer job didn't allow me to ride very much. To make myself feel better about my 60-80 hour work weeks, I channeled all my angst from not riding and became an all-out weight weenie.

I have trouble keeping up with people I'm drafting.

I have to order children's bike shorts *buries head under the covers in shame*

Sometimes I fart while riding and I dont care who is behind me! Just sayin'

I sold my road bike for a touring bike.

I just grilled some NY Strips and drank a (dry) vodka martini while doing so.

I am not sorry.

I am the only black roadie I know.

Someone asked me the other day if I get tan lines.... Ignorance

I have never felt fat my entire life and did all sorts of sports. Now I feel like I am too large for this sport. It is not like I can lose the weight. I am a large person, even at a low fat percentage I am still heavy. I could probably look like a corpse and still fall into the clyde category (90-ish kg). Played American Football and Basketball for most of my life...

It bothers me that my physique was always useful in other sports, but feels out of place on a roadbike.\

There's a group of black cyclists here that work for Maxwell House.

Their team is called "team mocha."

i get tan lines to.the sun is not your friend

I have a week off form work and I keep putting off the 'big ride.'

I haven't ridden my bike in almost two months, and I feel great.

I haven't been in here in nearly two months, and I feel even better.

I still laugh at the frenzy and frothing at the mouth that ensues whenever Apple rolls out the newest iThing.

Busta has never ridden tubulars.

:cry:

I drilled 4 holes in the frame of my aluminum triathlon bike to fit a rear rack and I've been riding almost 6000 kms without any problems!

I did an "A" group ride for the first time last night.....
I got dropped during warmup:(

Stick with it. Anybody can do "A" rides w/ a bit of training.

What an awesome thread. Lol

Here goes my contribution:

Everyone thought I was insane when I spent $500 on a hybrid, now they think I lost my mind when I spent 3k on a road bike.
I definitely am too fat for this sport 6'3 236 lbs.
I have something against people who ride only Cannondale, Trek, Specialized and so on because they never knew other brands existed.
Also, I've been obsessive over keeping my things in perfect condition (phones, car paint, bike paint, etc.) since I was 7.
....Oh and I'm a BMW ******bag.

I've been browsing bf for over year and creepily watched over all of your lives- and yet just signed up a couple weeks ago.
I've bought bikes on on clist even though they don't fit me- I've convinced myself that I do it for parts or future barters/projects.
I live in Newark and salmon when necessary.:D

Is that a sexual thing?

I meant that sometimes I have to ride on the other side of the road.. if ya know what I mean...;)

I bought a size xl bike jersey on-line but had to return it because um.... I'm not fit like a European

I now ride almost daily since i bought my bike 3 weeks ago. I eat clean 90% of the time as of 6 months ago and have lost 30 lbs. Because of my p90x workouts, jogs, bike rides, and insanity, I excuse myself for gorging on entire boxes of fruit snacks in the drive home from the grocery store. And consuming junk food 2 days each week.

Also someone brought donuts to work today, I ate 9 of them. I am going back for another shortly. I have no remorse

I seriously tried to become an alcoholic, and failed miserably.

:cry:
