Thread: The Rules

http://www.velominati.com/blog/the-rules/

Good read. Granted a lot of it is gay roadie shit but were a few gems, such as:

It never gets easier, you just go faster. To put it another way, per Greg Henderson: “Training is like fighting with a gorilla. You don’t stop when you’re tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.”

Rule #5.

Other than that, I think there are too many rules.

And they wonder why roadies get a reputation for being douchy.

It always comes back to #5. Although #12 has merit.

RULE 12:
The minimum number of bikes one should own is three. The correct number is n+1, where n is the number of bikes currently owned. This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of bikes owned that would result in separation from your partner.

RULE 25:
The bikes on top of your car should be worth more than the car. Or at least be relatively more expensive. Basically, if you’re putting your Huffy on your Rolls, you’re in trouble, mister.


never understood people who have a brand new SUV and some 5 year old bike. get your shit straight.

Thanks for showing me the rules. Now let me show you something.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Now see #5 mr. active poster for sixty days

I need to harden the fuck up? How about you getting so uptight over someone pointing something out to you?

whatever dude, welcome to the board now you can be a dick to people on the internet.

at least you read the rules, thank you

#4 had me laughing pretty hard.

nobody likes a twatwaffle, even a texas twatwaffle

Fuck rules, just ride it, slide it, and stuff the twatwaffle.

I never got the sunglass over helmet strap thing. if you want to take off your helmet and leave your sunglasses on now its needless extra steps.

Its kinda of like the goggles under the helmet thing, IE I like to put my goggle on my helmet on the lifts, but then you cant.

both are pretty equally lame. as out most of these rules. real cyclist could give a damn less and most of these rules are less than practical.

That is dumb.
Biking is about biking, not about compiling a huge list of rules on how to be cool.

I stopped reading at 8 when he insisted on some sort of matching color scheme for saddle bars etc. Lame.
