Seattle, my second favorite city, great bike town, in fact my sweetie is from there so I get a chance to ride there often. I would consider living there if not for the damp weather.lwedge said:
Personally I hate hills but I can't help but to take up the challenge, huffing and puffing, ear drums pounding , heart bursting,
hating every second of it but what a rush once I reach the top.Miyata Bob

Ha!
I heard one of these real cyclists say this last week.
2km from the finish line, hammering out a nice pace up a incline, someone behind yells out - "sllll o w d o w n".
Oh...Yeah..sure mate...no problems...sorry for going too fast.
Like climbing onto the stage at an AC/DC concert and telling them to turn the music down. LOL
"I'll have second place, you have first"
"I love doing time trials, especially with strong headwind"
I think John Stamstad would argue that point, but nothing suggests that he's actually human!MountainPro said:

Oh shoot, i seem to have fallen off my bike, right in the middle of this jolly long race, Le Tour de France, would one of you kind spectators please help me up and back on my bike?
My dear unfortunate fellow, you seem you have fallen off your bicycle and broken your collar bone...i'll wait with you until the race doctor gets here..
You have a puncture?...hold on, i'll give you my spare tube.
I'm a sprinter but i dont like the limelight...
I'm almost at the summit, i wish more fans would jump out infront of me and take a picture with the flash on missing me by inches, it real encouragement.

Hey whats to talk about, A "real cyclist" rides a bike. Period.
Where's your valve cap?
"A bicycle, I'm too old to ride a bike!"
MiyataBob said:I ain't going to be hauling around all that extra weight.
Actually I see no reason too. I check my pressure on every ride.
Just one more thing to get lost.
They totally say that, especially during the off-season. Heard about October riding of pros (in the US): every ride is too long, every hill is too steep and they won’t ride unless there is coffee break in the ride! I know this because October is the only month I can ride with them!JouteiMike said:
Pros will also say:
Cannot wait till the season is over so I can eat some donuts!
I'm too cool to wear a helmet! (Okay, maybe they don't say this but it’s definitely implied)
Of course I'm over dressed, I'm a pro! (Same category as above)
No, I don't have an eating disorder!
Crank arms...
Who the hell is Sheldon Brown anyway ?
Didn't Thomas Vockler beat Roger Federer's in straight sets this year at Wembledon ? Or was that Jan Ullrich ?
Maglia Rosa, this is a fine Chianti from the Tuscan region of Italy.
Limerickman is a Broadway musical starring Sean Kelly and Jessi Strensland.

"Can I fit some straps to my pedals?"
"Yes, I know they're supposed to fasten to the shoes but I just don't trust them."
"And besides, the straps look nice."
"No, I actually prefer to ride in my slippers. Those shoes are a bit stiff".
"But the grippy soles on my slippers help me to slow down"
"Really? I can get clipless fittings for my slippers?"
"Have you got these with a high-heel?"
"What about in pink?"
and finally....
"I can't ride with no hands. Could you scratch my ***** for me?"
"Yes, I know they're supposed to fasten to the shoes but I just don't trust them."

In Australian English - ***** has an entirely different meaning....
It is ... ummm. the front bit (for girls)....
Not sure it is polite to scratch a lady there, unless you're real friendly...
