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

What kind of abominations are you riding with?

I've ridden with a lot of women and I've NEVER EVER seen one fire off a snot rocket.

Ugh... it made me throw up in my mouth a little just thinking about it...

Why can't I get a 13-28 cassette?

I've seen it. It did make me a little sick. And she wasn't hot. Kind of old and wrinkly, really. So was her snot. Eeewww.

I don't know, it was a club group ride and I didn't ask for references when I latched onto them in the first mile. They were riding at a good pace, and she was hot. We were taking turns pulling, so it wasn't like she was annoyed that I was sucking her wheel and she couldn't ride me off. :lol:

Slow leaking innertubes, gluing patches on tubes.

I love patching tubes. I find it very satisfying, and a properly patched tube is as good as a new one.

13-28 cassettes are for sissies.

BTW, my pet peeve is people taking needless potshots at other posters.

Leaving spoons out to dry right-side-up.

Gluteus 02-05-13 06:44 PM

"Rear cassettes".
In a bike, are there any other cassettes?

Agree - there is satisfaction knowing you have saved the life of a tube.

2 weeks of ice & snow, 6 mos. of sand, gravel & dust.

diphthong 02-23-13 03:41 PM

getting the bike back from the lbs with 'mysterious' new nicks/scratches in the paint.

miamijim 02-24-13 04:14 PM

Mismatched inner tubes and tires. On my bikes they need to match, I'll replace them in pairs before I ride with them mismatched...and that includes the valve caps.

Dan333SP 02-24-13 06:27 PM

People who race crits without a basic knowledge of a proper racing line.

alexaschwanden 02-24-13 10:05 PM

Having your tire boot fail by a thorn and popping your tube in two seconds, so i put a second boot on top of that one.

Nick Bain 02-24-13 10:45 PM

people that show up to group rides with a replacement tube that is PATCHED and proceed to have multiple flats.

More senseless abuse of the English language.

It seems every pundit, newscaster, or person being interviewed for more than two minutes ultimately begin sentences with 'So.' Rarely, if EVER, should the word 'so' begin with a capital letter. And, But, and Or have already fallen victim to this abuse - what will be next?

Dude on CNBC this morning began every single sentence with "So,..." I had to mute the TV.

When people on hear try to answer questions based on theory with no practice or experience.

YOJiMBO20 03-05-13 09:51 AM

People who mix up homophones (there/their/they're; here/hear...) and the use of letters or numbers as words they sound like (u, r, ne, w8...).

datlas 03-05-13 10:08 AM

Stupid mid-week snowstorms, again.

I still struggle with its/it's and yours/your's. Don't know why I can't nail that one down.
