When you pass by another cyclist and they take it as "wanna race?" and kick up the pace to stay with you or pass by you again. Dude, chill out! I just wanted to pass by your a**!
I stand corrected.jyeager said:I resent that remark! I've got a GTO and the Dukes of Hazzard drove a Charger. Mopars are definitely more red-neck than Pontiacs!
I'm pretty sure (at least by the looks of things) that Ms. Crow has been ridden hard and hung up wet one too many times.hombredesubaru said:I stand corrected.
GTOs rock.
BTW, are you Lance? (his GTO got pimped on TV)
How's Sheryl in bed?

PS. No problem with fat girls in lycra - at least they're trying to become thinner girls in lycra.
Stecman said:I've got one that nobody's mentioned: DOUBLEWIDES on the back of Semi's! Geez - I got scraped by one of these guys and shoved off the road - the sad part - I knew he was coming from the lead car and I was less than an inch to the side.
Even worse, after my spill I didn't get up in time to catch the guys licence plate. There's got to be some law of how wide those can be.
And for any of you with DoubleWides in the Oregon area, check the side of your house for a handlebar scrape and give me a call with the name of your shipping company.
gelyk said:I was out for a ride on Sunday and as I started a climb I noticed someone ride up behind me. After about 3 miles of hanging on my back wheel they rode up next to me for a chat and then hopped back on my wheel for another 2 miles. They then has the nerve to say 'enjoy your ride, I'm gonna set my own pace now' and they proceeded to ride off the front.
Now I'm all for people riding at their own pace but don't hang on my wheel for 5 miles, getting some rest whilst I'm riding at my maximum level, and intimate that I'm not fast enough. Get up there and do some work ya *******!
What are your pet hates whilst out riding?
PS. I also hate when a car hangs behind you when there is plenty of room to pass, especially when they have a car with some decent power.
PPS. fat chicks in lycra, not a good thing either.
basso97 said:I hate when you are in a pace line and the person in front of you suddenly gets out of the saddle and in turn throws the bike back a few inches almost causing you to crash.
Wow. That blows my mind. Did you find out what the guy was fined?specialized26 said:I was on a ride a couple of weeks ago in my town. I was 20 miles in on a 50 mile ride. Comming down a hill at about 35 or 40 mph a white SUV pulled up next to me a threw a glass bottle in front of my tire and blew out both the tubes and shredded both tires. I was lucky i kept the bike upright and didn't bend the rims. The cops caught the guy a week later, he did the same thing to another cyclist who got a partial plate and with my description of the car they were able to get him. That really made me mad.
No, not yet, i am not too sure what happened to him. I am pretty friendly with all the cops so i am planning to find out as soon as the information is allowed to be released. Yea it was not fun at all.Stecman said:Wow. That blows my mind. Did you find out what the guy was fined?
hombredesubaru said:yes! and squeaky botton brackets.
also...people on bike paths who come straight at you, on your side of the bike path, hogging the entire road, whether on bikes or roller blades or walking or pushing a stroller, then get upset when you motion or ask them to ride on ther own F%#&ing side of the bike path!
Squeaks and unwanted sounds in general - pet hate.mitosis said:I've had a squeaky bb for ages - which has bugged social riders and racers alike. Greased it and finally replaced it but to no avail. A closer look recently showed a hairline crack. Couldn't believe my luck. One new frame coming right up!
And what do I hate? I hate cars that overtake 50 metres before turning left - impatient bastards.
