Things a real cyclist will never say!

[jhuskey]

Maybe this has been done before but let's have another go at it.
Thing you will never hear a real cyclist say. I wll start and please add your comments.

Look at my new kick-stand!

I got a new horn for my bike.

Lance who?

I can go as fast I want on my bike.

My new bars have tassels.

It's ok to get off and push up a steep hill.

I ride for the scenery.

Jean shorts are fine for long rides.

 

[shannons dad]

Are we there yet?

 

[noonievut]

Part of me does ride for the scenery (I usually ride on nice roads through forests...and I stop and take it in). Agree with the rest...LOL.

 

[wheelist]

Look at my new kick-stand!

Oh boy, I just bought a bike with a kickstand!!

It's ok to get off and push up a steep hill.

And it's only got a 3-speed hub gear, so there are some hills I have to push it up. I do live in Wales though!

I ride for the scenery.

I'm just starting to notice the scenery for the first time whilst riding it, cause I can only get about 10mph out of it on the flat.

It's a Kona BikeHotRod (see avatar) - the stupidest bike I ever bought!!

Anyway, let's pretend I'm still a real cyclist. Here are some things I wouldn't ever say:

Road bikes are for softies.

I just broke my handlebar mirror.

I wear shinpads because the pedals hurt when they spin into your legs.



Nice thread huskey!!

Another thing a real cyclist won't say:

I care about what the elitists say about what equipment I use.

Looks like the coolest going to the pub bike ive seen.
Why not tie a couple of them wooly backs to the front and let them drag up the hills or home from the pub .

 

[Special ed]

Can you leave the plastic spoke guard on, please?

I always come to a full stop at intersections.
I'm so glad I bought a trike - They're not so tippy.
Dad says I can take the training wheels off, but I think I'll leave them on. They look so cool.
My bike goes too fast for me.
I don't enjoy drafting behind trucks - it seems like cheating.
I really enjoyed that time trial I just completed.
I'd rather polish my bike than ride it.

 

[shannons dad]

I just love my fold-up electric-motor-powered whitewall tyred with a basket on the front commuter bicycle!!!

ARRRGGGHHH!! I HATE THESE PEOPLE!!!

 

[EoinC]

It's a nice day - I wish I was in my car.

 

[ghostpedal]

No thankyou, those bike parts are TOO light.
Whoa, that's too much carbon fiber.
My favorite LBS is Wal-Mart.

 

[dgregory57]

My favorite LBS is Wal-Mart.

Everyone knows K-Mart is the best place for bicycles.

(I expect a turf-war on this one)

 

[wheelist]

I always get my bike serviced at Halfords.

It's a nicer ride if you let the tyres down a bit.

Personally, I prefer cantilevers.

[scotty72]

I was doing so well until this point

 

[JohnO]

Campy? Shimano? What's the difference?

 

[cydewaze]

"Do these shorts make me look gay?"

 

[dgregory57]

What is that $#!+ you're riding?

It is your fault for not paying attention. (well, this one might be heard from a cyclist on occasion).

I'd rather be running/sailing/golfing/...

No thanks...looks like rain.
