Trying not to get annoyed by 'heelers', 'bobbers' and 'flats'- without much luck

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

I do. I tried to shoot myself but what with all the bobbing and heeling I was doing I missed and shot my tire. Now I am double flatting, heeling and bobbing. I suck.

I feel sorry for people who ride with their saddles way too low...

There is a teenage girl in my neighborhood who is the very definition of a "bobber", she Never sits on the seat, and is pedaling away, bobbing up and down, even down hill. It is actually humorous to watch, but at the same time, I see her every day, rain or shine, hot or cold, riding her bike, so whatever, you go girl!
