Hey, they dont call you Rookie for nothing.

 

If you really want a Friday Fight, go to the divorce thread and tell the guys its their fault.

 

Or go to the Trump thread and say that he is so bad that he made you support woman!

They will prob all agree

I can always tell when there is a triathlon in the near future by the sudden increase in the "always be aero" riders who wouldn't even consider a wave. Even nodding your head destroys the aero benefit and you lose minutes.

 

So my favourite game to play with turduckens is to ride past them in the most unaero position as possible, breathing through my nose, and wave at them vigorously. And if they try to hop onto my wheel I make sure to enforce the no drafting rule with a disapproving look and a burst of pace ;)

 

(why do turduckens insist on staying aero when going up a hill at 14km/h??? - one of life's great mysteries...)

The mistake you are making is that you are trying to categorise tryathtletes as cyclists.

 

This is not the case, they are a different species, their DNA is closer to that of a E-Biker, CryptoExpert or Vegan than any known species of cyclists.

Since this thread stated, I have improved my waving capabilities and it has come at a cost.

As I am seriously aero on my 'Dale, I now have a stiff neck that is as a result of the akward mobility & wave action required to be friendly.

Off to see the chiro'.  :huh:

You hit that nail so hard on it's head.

Maybe cos that position is closer to the handlebar mounted asthma pump...

As much as I despise triathletes, I don't think it's fair that we paint them all with the same brush just because of a certain Kenyan South African British Monegasque (I had to Google that last one).

 

In fact, I even have a few turducken friends.

And he is a cyclist, not a turducken.... So throwing that shoe at the wrong species there!
