Actually, I forgot to mention that Nashbar was charging shipping and no LBS could come even close to the price. I went to Jenson USA, they matched price and ship free over $50.

Win.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I don't mind the occasional curse word, but if you need to use one every other word, I think it's time to try and increase the size of your lexicon. Especially if it's always the same word every time.

I really hate it in winter when I try to fire a snot rocket but it's too viscous and it strings out over my face and jacket sleeve and then I encounter a hot cycler babe.

Using the f-bomb as an adjective is required when speaking in terms of Canadian language.

Referring to the "forks", rather than the fork. There is only one fork.

Over punctuation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Folks they are not horses or arrows, just bikes.

Oh and least I forget- people with pet peeves about people with pet peeves.

People who have trouble with metaphors.

Speaking of forks (more than one), WTF do you call the Lefty then? A fork with one tine is not a fork.










And a donut without a hole, is a danish.

Fat Trailer Trash that live around here and think it's fun to run me off the road. I was riding on Sunday. It's 24F degrees with 25mph winds and guy yells out the window "gay boy" cause I'm wearing my thighs.

If I saw someone wearing thighs I would be a little concerned as well. :eek:

My guess is that her pet peeve would be seeing you do that.

No that would only be #2. #1 would be if it would land on her.

Being called sweetie or honey by someone who misfired a snot rocket.

The last time I got hit by one, it wouldn't have bothered me in the least if she called me sweetie. :lol:

Her husband gave her hell, but I just laughed it off.

A nice tight booty in spandex covers a multitude of sins. :thumb:

That was half the problem--I was enjoying that view so much that I didn't see what she was doing with her head and finger. :D

I haven't read all the responses to see if this has already been posted. I get very annoyed with riders in a paceline that pass me and then slow down to the speed I was going when they passed me. Then when I pass them, because I don't want to ride in their line, they get pissed at me. I guess they just don't like solo riders.
