gummibear Posted May 26, 2014 Share The Seven Deadly Sins of Cyclinghttp://www.ilovebicycling.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Screen-Shot-2014-05-14-at-1.09.13-AM-600x358.pngHow many of the seven deadly sins of cycling do you break? Are you an Angel or the Devil on wheels? Take the test now to see where you fit in. 1. Forgetting To Wear Your HelmetSafety First! Brain damage is not cool. 2. Not Waving to Your Fellow CyclistAre you not friendly? Are you not enjoying yourself? What is the matter with you? The only valid excuse is if you are an amputee. Too many times I have ridden by cyclists giving a nice friendly wave to receive nothing in return but the look of bewilderment… as if there was something wrong with me! Wave to your fellow cyclist and at least pretend that you care. 3. Coveting Thy Neighbours BikeBe happy with your ride! 0.01 grams lighter is not going to change you in to Eddy Merckx. Work on improving the engine, not the bike. 4. UpgradeitisUpgradeitis is a disease that is easily contracted by cyclists and hard to treat. Once the disease has been contracted it is nearly impossible to cure. All the new “better, lighter and faster” parts are coming out and they are going to decrease your time by 0.7 seconds for every hour of riding… better get one of those overly priced uncomfortable pure carbon saddles with no butt padding… on second thought… make it two?!?! 5. Forgetting the TubesDid you leave your extra tubes at home? Hope you brought your phone! 6. The Wheel SuckerDon’t be that guy… you know… that guy that sits at the back of the pack wheel sucking… or just plain sucking… not taking his turn at a pull even though he has lots of energy. Don’t be that guy. 7. GluttonyCycling to lose weight? Just because you went for a ride does not entitle you to six beer, a burger, fries and a side of onion rings! mmm onion rings… Ever heard of a salad with chicken?How Sinful are you?

pbp2007 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Anybody with a rating lower than "Devil" should consider taking up tiddlywinks instead. (I am assuming that "deliberately forgetting to wear your helmet" is acceptable for #1.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
