Hug a Hybrid

Listen Guys.

I know things have been a little "not right" between us recently.

I've been pre-occupied with work and my cadence, you've been seeing a lot of your MTB friends and cutting the ends off your four foot wide flat bars.

I should have paid you more attention when you were looking for approval - no your bum does NOT look big in baggies. You could have noticed when I'd got those new bib shorts.

All I'm trying to say is - listen - I still love you and want us to be together - we are a great team and whilst we have our differences, your straight back and bobbing head, my narcissim and great looking legs - we should be together.

Shall we put the last few days behind us and maybe go on a mini break?

    Make it a luxury mini-break and I'll consider it...................

    I would hug a hybrid but I don't want to get covered in grease.

    You've got until 3pm today to bring back my reflectors :x I hadn't even noticed the bell was missing :shock:

    As for you, Principe. Us hybrid(ers) are NEVER covered in grease unlike certain people............ :sniff:

    wouldn't hugging a hybrid rider be more effective at building bridges?

    The only thing hybrids are good for is bringing out the really fit birds on bikes in the Summer. FACT!

    Though the really uber fit girls are on road bikes and cling to the drops! I admit 90% of that extra fit-beauty is down to the bike. Cafewanda why don't you buy a Bianchi, straddle, video tape, give me the tape and leave me alone while I have some "me time..." :P

    One such female was riding a Bianchi behind me 2/3 days ago, I've never wanted to be overtaken and ride "behind" someone so much in my entire freaking life. Sheeeet she was 2 degrees hotter than hot! Trued my wheels that one did.... 8)

    What were we talking about? Oh yeah giving a hybrid a hug, why? Unless the hybrid rider is a hot summer chick that clearly hibenates for the winter to maintain her beauty.... other than that hugging a hybrid is just crude.

    Jaysus next Greg'll want to run his tongue up the stubbly beard of a MTBer female.... :shock:

    Ha!

    DDD, me straddling is so not a pretty sight so I wouldn't want to inflict that on you
    although there was that one night with ..................... I'll claim that hug as I AM a hot summer chick etc, etc :wink:

    I'm not sure the MTB females are going to be taken with your kind words but I'll reserve judgement :twisted:

    I wouldn't worry they're just one notch above MTBer Males on the intelligence ladder, means they can spell their own name....

    Oh get me... I'm in fight mode today.

    I'm actually thinking about it - Morpeth, that is, but I'm struggling to find a pitchfork. I have the hi-viz top though :D

    I'm already drinking in the London Bridge area this evening so I'm not sure I'd get over to that side. What's the nearest tube? I already know cycling and alcohol don't mix........

    Morpeth - nearest tube = no idea. Anyone?

    Hmm......... if I can stick to just one plus a hour's chat, I'll swing by as it's (kind of) on my way home.

    Oh God, what have I done :shock: :shock:

    aha,

    lure Cafewanda into your lair with kind words and while she is not looking, put drops and 700c wheels on her bike.

    So wicked! :twisted:

    It's a trick Wanda. That racing bike lot are part of a cult. They pretend to be interested in your hybrid but they really want to get you to join their clan. All lycra and fakenger gear. Have you considered Jesus, he died on the cross to let us ride racing cycles. Just read the Good Book "It's ALL about the bike"

    They'll have you in their camp and then agree some mad suicide pact. DON'T DO IT. Stay free to wonder off the road onto tow-paths as and when you like!!!

    TCS, I think I'm safe from their dastardly attempt this time as I was a no-show at the Morpeth yesterday.

    On Friday we did spot a couple of very suspicious looking FGSS do a slow 'ride-by' although that could be normal speed for the LFGSS :lol:
    Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    be on your guard, its only a small step from a ride-by to a drive-by in the white-cider-addled, teenage mind of a spotty LFGSSer

    It's OK, I doubt any of them are old enough to drive.

    This kind of discussion is why I like my single speed, with drops, mudguards and 28mm marathon +

    Is it a fixed? No
    Is it a hybrid? No
    Do people that know f* all about bikes call it a "racing bike" Yes
    Does it like towpaths? Yes
    Is it fun racing people in the local Tri club when they over take me on the commute? Yes
    Does it look like a PoS? Yes
    Does it normally have a huge carradice saddle bag? Yes
