Kranswurm Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Try that little trick with your amstel in the pub.That should get your neighbors attention
ridesleeprepeat Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I think the only time it's good to wave your bottle around is when your about to launch it at someone, give the guy behind you a chance to sit up and watch the action...
Tumbleweed Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Something else which got me into trouble on my first group ride in Holland was the bumslap. It's a distinctly South African thing (must originate out of the Cape) and people look at you weird if you slap your butt here in Holland. You just point or make a little backwards wave to indicate obsticals. I no longer slap my own butt...  you can pay people to do that for you?
AndreZA Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I could never understand when the bum slap came in. We've always pointed to an obstacle in the road but when I got back to riding after a few year, suddenly they start tapping bums.     Â

Iwan Kemp Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 can you imagine guys trying to do this with bite-valves on camelbaks... I prefer to wave the whole Camelbak just to make sure everybody's noticed.The Crow2009-01-28 05:45:09

ridesleeprepeat Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 and while everyone is waving their camelbaks around, why not handbags at 10 paces...?

Tumbleweed Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 willehond, it's right next to the bulldog coffeeshop. follow the sounds of cracking of whips and the creaking of too-tight pvc? am outta here for the day, fellow hubbers and hubbettes! go well!

Pff.  I do however take my handlebars off and wave them around to signal a turn. What goes good with the bumb-slap is a crotch-grap to show you need to go. It's all these little things that you learn as a pro!
