Ok, put your cycling sins on here and let the forum judge you and hand out appropriate atonements. Maybe we could use the Velominati rules as a guide.
For example, I went out the other day on a club ride and my arm warmers fell down an inch either side and showed flesh at the top of my arm for at least half the ride.

What do i have to do to be square with the house ?

    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    Say three "Hail Cippo"'s and scrub your clubmates white handlebar tape with a nailbrush and San Pellegrino until sparkling white.

    Go in peace, my child, and don't sin again.

    When people say "nice fixie" I don't correct them.

    It's actually in single speed mode at the moment....

    I even sometimes pretend to pedal downhill to pretend I am untill they can't see....

    I rode to the bike shop yesterday wearing baggy shorts, fluorescent pink socks, orange and black trainers with fluorescent green laces and several large cold sores! :oops:

    These people only count if they are wearing rapha cycling jeans with the drivetrain leg rolled up, showing the pink and white rapha sign. Anyone else is an interloper, a cuckoo a demon of trend-guilt.


    You have to stop pretending you are on a Fixie and are duty bound to inform anyone otherwise. Or else its gonna be very hot where you are heading for. Be true unto oneself and tell them you are geared.

    I've been cycling for the last two years with the arms of my sunglasses under my helmet straps.

    I feel like a right fool.

    I have an excuse though, honest.

    I've lent it to a friend.

    I promise I have.

    Believe me? Please?

    The spokes on my front wheel keep going (old skool wheel). I should of course re-lace the wheel, but the fact the wheel could pop at any point is kind of exciting.

    I am amongst many sinners. My crime pales next to you lot. Your names are legion. You are the Kings and Queens of Nowhere. You are insects in the rubble of your own houses. May a great smiting be upon you.

    Sunglasses over helmet straps.

    Throw old inners away, never ride patched. Ever.

    Fix that Old Skool wheel and spin in harmony.

    Travel the rocky road to salvation and redeem. The land of milk protein shakes and Honey gels is only a few spins in the big ring away. Pedal hard in everything you do and you shall be rewarded with that solo breakaway win in life and the bunch will never catch you.

    My white bar tape is dirty so I was contemplating changing it for black tape instead.

    Arms of sunglasses under helmet straps. Mini pump attached to frame. Saddle bag (albeit a small one). Trainer socks. Probably more importantly, is that, erm, well, I cant bring myself to type the words out. I havent ridden since Sunday morning.

    Hail Cippos or flagellate myself with a bike chain?

    I bought a MTB helmet without realizing the difference, then I took the peak off to make it look more like a roadie helmet :oops:

    I think Velominati is a waste of web space and bandwidth. & I think all the sheep that follow their "way" should be dipped in lighter fluid and set alight for the amusement of myself and the other legions of people who feel the same, hah!

    I already have a spike on top of the gates of hell waiting for my arse so I fear no punishment you can offer me. :twisted:
