What you've learnt from cycling

[ :evil: No hijacking or one to one banter please :evil: ]
1. When riding in a chaingang, never tell a female cyclist her shorts re wearing thin.
2. When one sees two cyclists, one male & one female, the male is always in front.
(Same with ducks.)

2. It really hurts when you come off at 40 mph straight in to an embankment.

Don't listen to the bike shop when they say too big a frame will be fine.
You told a woman her shorts were wearing thin? And what was the reaction?

2. The friction you would expect from rubber on tarmac can sometimes be far less than anticipated
- the puncture fairy ignore all the times you go out with repair kit/tube/pump, then strikes on the one day you forget either one or other.
- lycra doesn't look good on fat blokes
Mates you ride with who you drop are puss*es

I fall into one of those categories, but I ain't saying which. :Oo:
2) Not to take it all too seriously, after all we do it for fun, not as a profession.

2. It's most certainly cheaper to lose the weight from yourself.

- When buying a bike, you pay MORE for LESS weight... Odd :?
- If you wobble about on the road, drivers box you in to the kerb and scare the life out of you. Ride confidently and you suddenly get space. :?
- The more comfy your saddle is, the less comfy you'll be. :?
- Drafting someone decreases the lead rider's drag also... :?
- Men shave thier legs for no performance increase. :?
- You never notice tailwinds, until you turn around!
"Have you been doing a deal"? they always say no, not much.

If you cannot get permission for another (essential) bike, treat yourself to some new shoes. Or pedals. Or handlebars. Or something else that will not be noticed.

Speed cameras do flash cyclists and the camera DOES add 10lb
MTB tyres don't grip wet chalk at 30mph on a corner
A broken and dislocated finger doesn't heal well if you continually ride with it (see above for possible cause)
Gravity acts 4x as strongly on me as anyone else on any given climb
The next bike will be faster and climb better.
And people are dissapointed when they find out I'm not.
1. A nicely padded backside does not exempt you from needing nicely padded cycling shorts.
2. You get lots of respect (and sponsorship!) from your (male) colleagues when you casually drop into the coversation that you're doing a 60 mile bike ride. Thanks guys
