Triathlete that scares you the most when riding

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

For me it's the slow ones who stare at me, touch me, then yell and cause me to crash out. You?

During the winter months we can blame bad weather for a run on parody threads. What's the excuse this time?

I blame Pcad's absence today for this string of triathlete parody threads. When the Pope is away, the Freds will play.

no the popes around, on his own threads. u don't think he would lower himself to post on a non pcad thread do u. furthermore unless he can talk or post pics of himself he won't post. it's part of his disease.

All the ones in my wifes club are pretty cool especially the ones that organize all the kid stuff.

Now that I got that out of the way.... The men, I hate the men, I mean all lean and muscular with no body fat. Dang.. If I looked like that I would wear a speedo. I also hate the women because there are more of them than bike riders and they are so hot I get flustered when they ride by I nearly drop my chain...

In all honesty, I do tend to talk with women triathletes much more than their male counterparts. And if I'm going to be really honest here, I'm totally pretending that I'm interested in their sport and "challenge" as we talk.

well because unlike a lot of just women cyclist (i said a lot not all) women triathletes also run and swim, which prevents them from gaining a big butt (not the good type of big butt). women triathletes are generally very lean and have amazing bodies, so us male cyclist put up with the silliness of triathlons to continue talking to them.
