A friend of mine took his Nashbar Mtn Bike, stripped it down to bare metal. Then painted it matte black and put Ellsworth on it with cheap gothic font press on lettering. It looks great..... Now You too can have any brand bike you cant afford for the price of a couple of stickers.

Learn how to pee without getting off the bike. Make sure you do this every time you ride. People will look at you and say, "Man that guy is dedicated to training!" Either that or...umm...they will call the cops on you.

also with proper target practice you can get rid of inconsiderate motorists using this same technique.

Brilliant...and just about matches my skill set!

Genius thread!

Here's a couple more:

1. Carry a (brand name) helmet strapped to your briefcase, laptop bag, hand bag, backpack every where you go.

2. Wear your cycling glasses all the time, on the top of your head (preferably M Frames or Rudys - make sure the have clear, red, orange or blue lenses), like you don't know they are there.

Ok this is it! Get a photo of yourself in a full TT suit, merge it with this photo and put it on your desk.

sewing pockets into the back of your normal clothes and carrying around a Co2 pump and patch kit at all times...maybe even a powerbar or two...wouldnt want to EVER run out of fuel..

Carry a load of wheels on your cars' roof and cover your car in Sponsor stickers. Always drink water out of a biddon.... even in restaurants.....

When out cycling.... stick fake bugs on your teeth and glasses and smile at the slow guys as you pass them....
