Hey all

I just wanted to see if anyone was wierd like myself

i wanted to see I people act like there on a bike when they are not

eg the other day I reached for money when I was at lunch and I reached for my jersey pocket lol

my mate nearly calls hole or glass or car back when he is walking Down the street

I am afraid one day I'll get to work or out to dinner wearing Lycra and a helmet haha

You are opening a can,, no a BUCKET of worms here lukebagley84. Commuter and Metro are amongst the weirdest cyclist ever known.

This could get UGLY!

Haha each to their own

Just interested in the cycling habits lol

[Metro Commuter]

I eat like I am in the middle of the Tour de France, whether I am cycling or not.

I tend to be too comfortable driving very close to other cars after I have been racing.

I was giving evidence in Court one day, being cross-examined by a QC (which is a very uncomfortable thing for someone usually on the other side of the bar table asking the questions), and I was thinking about how my heart rate was a bit elevated and how I wished I had my HRM with me to see how high it was.

I did use my Polar HRm to measure my HR and elevation during an intimate moment with Mrs MC, and she was not all that amused.

Last  year at Gunnedah, a group of of us left the Motel for tea 100 meters down thw road everyone in the group began to chuckle when we realise, we were walking in bunch formation 2 abreast, quite funny at the time had to be there but funny at the time............

Awesome stuff guys

what about when walking through the shopping centers do you slip stream them and overtake ?

were walking in bunch formation 2 abreast

Were you swapping off turns with the wind on the correct side ?

Only when I am going to the check out, I sit on and then with a few metres to go I kick hard and throw the trolley over the line throwing both hands into the air and then making a cross over my chest just after doing the hand gun shot.

lukebagley84, singlespeeder, whoever,

careful son, they are just warming up and playing with you. It WILL get nasty when they start telling of their weird stuff!

When I am driving with my wife and kids and a see a cyclist I observe how much effort they are putting in. If they are taking it easy I get my 5 year old to yell at them (with the window up) "Push it!!!!!"

Also, whenever I see the exposed hardwood timber on house cladding, decks, windows or horizontal slats on screens etc I tell my wife it will be grey and old in 6 months. She is getting sick of that. But it is always true, no one maintains hardwood.

Yes!  You were about 20 m off the back, struggling to keep up!

More "cycling while not cycling" tales from Gunnedah:  Later that night Magic Steve (aka The Ferret), Seldo and I made an early (well, probably after 1am) attack from the local "night club", when Magic Steve or Seldo made the sage call that any further time spent in the six man Newcastle drinking break that included one B  Lambkin (who was starting to disrobe suggestively on the dance floor) was most unwise - the call was "Lambkin has become a liability!". I am told by the Editor and Wayne Swan, who did not make the break with Steve and Seldo,  that the very large  local bunch started crowding them out, and they left shortly thereafter. Ahh - country hospitality!

And another:  Robbo in the left lane on the Expressway, getting overtaken by the speeding L platers   Life imitates cycling... (I am joking - Robbo is a quick driver)

And another: "Go Steve" turns up to the TAB to place a bet.  The deadline for placing bets on the particular race he wants to punt on closes in 5 minutes.  He can't find a form, then can't find a pencil, then after running around the TAB asking everyone for a pencil he starts filling in the form and the pencil breaks, so he runs around looking for a pencil sharpener.  Magic Steve happens to find a pencil sharpener for him, and after sharpening his lead he completes the form and lodges the bet 3.6 nanoseconds to go.  With that bet he wins the Trifecta...

Not sure if it's just me but I always have to think twice when considering cruising down the bike lane when pulling up to a red light in the car.

I do think, when driving,  to warn following motorists when I see a pothole ahead.

[Commuter]

Yes!  You were about 20 m off the back, struggling to keep up!

That would make me about 5k's in front of you.....................

[Metro Commuter]

We were going for dinner so that would make sense :-))
