Pure Savage Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 On topic actually, but is a simple nod considered greeting? I want to be friendly, but I like my teeth as well, so I keep my hands on the handlebar.
Toast69 Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Happened to me twice yesterday morning, left my home on my way to the Boksburg stadium track, the last guy in that group gave me a death stare as I waved and greeted , after I finished my ride and on my way back home, I approached another group of roadies, again I waved and greeted and all them just stood there starring at me, it was weird but hey, each to his own I guess
Patchelicious Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 I hope all these people who get so hurt at not being waved at, carry some guacamole in their saddle bags for those chips on the Camelbak straps.
Duane_Bosch Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Apologies. I didn't wave or nod at anyone yesterday. I was too busy keeping my bike upright and trying to not get blown out to sea.
dave303e Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 better question, if you take a peloton and position yourself right in the middle. Do you think it would be possible to split the tail end into a Y shape with a well timed potent fart? Or would it more be like fish schooling around a predator?
NotSoBigBen Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 All I see is a bunch of sensitive 'pussies' (pretty sure that's what Marius would have called these lot)
coppi Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 I hope all these people who get so hurt at not being waved at, carry some guacamole in their saddle bags for those chips on the Camelbak straps.Surely those are taboo on a roadie!!!
Patchelicious Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 Surely those are taboo on a roadie!!!They are, but if you didnt notice the person with the chip on his shoulder is a MTBer moaning about roadies not waving at him and they are like Camelbaks more than Floyd likes kickbacks.
jdwet1980 Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 No, but I have a high protein variant. Exchange the ingredients with biltong, salami, parma ham, carpaccio, chourico, and droeëwors. I'm hungry now...
Dirkitech Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 Surely those are taboo on a roadie!!!I'm going to sell myself out at the macsteel race this weekend - will be sporting a serious mtb camelback on road bike if the bottlecage spits bottles like a cobra, mtb instincts dictate I make another plan for hydration. I will be getting deathstares I'm sure, but will still great for farts and giggles
Thor Buttox Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 There would have to be traffic behind us to be held up, we could be 12 abreast, if there is no car, then not holding anyone up 12 breasts leads two lots of six.
Mamil Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 I can .... This is a classical oxymoron."Mamil or MAMIL is someone who rides an expensive racing bicycle for leisure, wearing endurance- and performance-enhancing body-hugging jerseys and shorts. The word was reportedly coined by British marketing research firm Mintel in 2010." Wikipedia.Mtb gear = Baggies and loose fitting shirts No matter how hard you try you can never be a MAMIL in Mtb gear
Ozzie NL Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 It's actually quite simple: we're too busy going fast I mean what's the point in buying an aerobike and skintight outfit, shave your legs and starve yourself to the ideal weight if you have to cock up all the marginal gains to wave at a bunch dikwiele????
City Cycling Athletic Club Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 It's actually quite simple: we're too busy going fast I mean what's the point in buying an aerobike and skintight outfit, shave your legs and starve yourself to the ideal weight if you have to cock up all the marginal gains to wave at a bunch dikwiele????i dont love this , i freekin lurv this. im the self desiginated greeter in the club bunch. i ride at the back ensuring all the club ride together , i instruct , dont greet , i will say 'Hi Ya' to whoever we pass.
TIB Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 Yoh bro, you should bump up your fitness level. Then you can ride in front of the bunch with a pained look on your face, not greeting anyone..... all this greeting is giving roadies a good name!

But what if I put it to you that they can however be a d0*$?
