If we have moved on to grammar, one of my annoyances is someone saying "I could care less" when he/she really means "I couldn't care less."

I am specifically talking about strong riders that would have no problem taking a turn at the front, but don't.

I don't expect someone just getting comfortable with the pace to kill themselves just for the sake of killing themselves.

This usage is ironic. It's as if you said, "I wish all people would use correct grammar," and I said, "Yeah, that's going to happen."

People who say "My bad", especially after nearly, or actually, wiping you out.

But I know I've heard it said (at least in C&V) that "Steal is Reel" (or something like that).

how would you like me to blow my nose?

How do you all get so snotty that blowing is necessary? The terry portion of the thumb of my glove is sufficient, but my no means do I produce mucus of a magnitude requiring tissue or forced ejection. Maybe I'm lucky like that.

Irregardless....it still bothers me. :innocent:

I don't blow snot rockets, but I don't mind others doing them them as long as the blower pulls out of the paceline for launch.

Do you ride in cold weather? I haven't met very many people for whom the snot doesn't flow quite freely below a certain temp.

With a tissue strategically placed?

I dont know, that's you're problem. Just be aware of your surroundings. No one wants to see your muccous flying all over the place

That is highly unsafe beyond a certain level of effort and/or speed.

You are. Below 50 degrees, I produce copious amounts of snot if riding at anything harder than an easy spin.

Snot rockets are a necessary evil in certain situations. Unless it's landing on you, HTFU.

But there are so many.

I dont really care if you want to see it or not. Im not going to keep it in nor am I going to snort hard enough to where I must swallow it. I simply pull out of the line and make sure no one is in my range.

Maybe you need the tissue for all the whining about my snot rockets. Sorry but I am not riding with a tissue.

i refuse to dignify this thread with a serious answer.

ok...I can't bottle it up anymore. I hate it when cyclists under-take me. If you must pass me, go around the outside. Simple. It is dangerous to go on the inside and no one is expecting you to be there. One guy gave me an almighty fright and I nearly swerved right into him.

Coasting, I agree!!!! ^^ Although mine applies to an indoor track running training position. Whenever a break forms during intervals, a freshmen under cuts the other runners on the TURN to bridge the gap. If you must make a statement, and bridge the gap, man up and over take them on the straight. Not cutting several meters out of each repeat for the sake of the group.

Regardless if this has good grammar or not, I fully agree with the intentions. One of my composition college professors defended the use of "I could care less" as meaning "I couldn't care less" with modern interpretation. I'm quite glad I'm done with that class and professor.

Maybe the problem is you Brits ride on the wrong side of the road.
