Use the search features, how dare you suggest that... ;)

Not serious and for a bit of a laugh, what are the most asked questions in the Beginners section?

Feel free to add...

- Standard or Compact. Sheldon Bbrown's website must be down!
- Listening to music while cycling. Foolish or fickle.
- I waved to someone, but they didn't wave back. Boo, hoo!
- Which Sports gels, energy bars or Shot Bloks? Personally I prefer squashed soreen, black bananas and fig trolls.

Please no one take offence.. I am very aware this is the beginners section - and they are asked for very good reasons!)

Anyone want to add....
Simon

    How old are the newbies to road biking ?

    (followed by a load of patronising guff from someone who appears to think he's the guru of the forum but in fact appears unable to discuss anyting outside of 'his thread' with out getting sh*tty')

    If you don't like the questions beginners ask then why hang around here complaining. :P

    There's no such thing as a stupid question should be the norm here! :roll:

    Although you don't know me or what, where or how I ride, can you tell me exactly what I need?

    I bought the wrong item from a LBS/online retailer so it must be their fault. Why are all bicycle retailers crap?

    I have inflated my tyres to the 140psi reccommended on the sidewall and my dentist says I have lost three fillings. Is this normal?

    Should I upgrade to carbon handlebars to reduce road buzz?
