You want more, ok. Have a child run along behind you with a Gold Medal in his hand saying"Mister you dropped this". You reply. Keep it kid I got plenty more!

HA HA HA HA HA. That is awesome JHuskey.

How about this one.

Install a mini-speed parachute underneath your seat, you know like they use on drag racers. When people ask you what it is tell them you put it on there because you got tired of melting your brake pads and having to replace them after every sprint or downhill.

Or you could tell them it really disturbs you that you have killed twelve senior citizens in cross walks this year.

Just came back from a neighbors house across the street. Turns out that their 6 year old son is going to be a little devil for Halloween this year! (I saw the costume his wife was just starting on)

I think I will pay him 5 dollars to run next to me jumping and shrieking like a madman in his devil costume... Come to think of it, he's a little young... maybe I'll have to tow him behind in one of those kid bike trailers, just as long as I'm out of range of his plastic pitchfork...

Ok just went for a ride down beach road, couldnt help laughing and thinking about this thread.
Is it legal to throw your water bottle at the blue train crew, or will they cry cos they have water on their outfit and it might get dirty....

Thought of another one,,,

Beside your toilet are the collecttion of assorted bike mags and brochers oh yeah the striped down frame ......

Find a group that rides well below your average. Hire a fat suit (or stuff a pillow up your jersey). Drop them on the first hill and wait at the top eating the last bite of a Big Mac (you only bring a small piece) out of a McD's paper bag.

Wait for them to ride past and repeat at the next hill.

Have someone following you in a car shouting over and over--

Venga! Venga! Venga!

I can't believe that it took me this long to read this thread. It is undoubtedly the funniest thread I have ever had the pleasure to read.

Here's one for the end of a ride when it's getting dark out.
Tape a couple of bottle rockets to back of your frame & light them just as you hit the beggining of your street. As soon as they start sparking light the fuse of the smoke bomb you have attached to the brake calipers. Then full out sprint down your street until the sparks stop. Hit your brakes hard & try to leave a skid mark. walk the rest of the way home with your brakes still smoking.

Good to see this thread resurface. I was re-reading some of the posts... hilarious!

Cut disks (that resemble deep rims) out of cardboard, paint them black and weave them through your spokes. When you're moving it'll look like you've got an expensive wheelset... just don't stop.
