Cycling pet hates

[David B]

All of the above, plus-

Bike that are garage queens. The bike were designed to look nice, yes, but they were also designed to be f*****g ridden, not to be left inside so the owner can touch themselves as they dribble over it, and post pictures on internet sites for glory. (there, i've said it)

Also the use of the word DIALLED. I hate it!!! Always have. "Man, I have that gnarly singletrack with the rocky shute DIALLED!!!" "I have my forks DIALLED to perfection" No other sport/passtime uses dialled (to my knowledge). Can we stop it now please?

That is all.

Definitely with you on the dreaded "garage queen" bikes.

As for use of the word "dialled", does making nuisance and/or obscene phone calls not count as a hobby then?

People fannying about on a downhill section at a trail centre (so not overly difficult/technical) because they can't ride it properly, and instead of getting out of the way for people behind, they decide to hold on to their brakes for dear life and do the entire section at about 5mph.

Yeah, it really annoys me when new people get interested in Cycling, why dont they just **** off and stick to playing Golf?

I don't mind Garage Queens, as long as the colourways are dialled.

Well said even if you were merely shooting for irony - what is it with this new fangled obsession with pastimes being popular. Misanthropy is the new, black, um, colourway.

"Adult" cyclists on MTBs (Roadies don't do it) who ride on the pavements. :twisted: :twisted:

That's not me jm, as the last new bike I bought was a 1996 Pine mountain in 1995, from you.

My pet hate is, those people that don't even ride, but hang around their LBS and cycling forums like a bad smell, giving bad advice and making terrible jokes.

Hang on, that's me! :shock:

The people who call their dogs when they see you even though he's busy in the bushes and miles out of the way.
The same people who think your only purpose in life is to run over their dog and panic to get hold of it as soon as they see you.
Different people who leave their dogs in the middle of the trail and stare at you for trying to get past, how dare you.
Weekends, the trails are so much better mid week.
Ooo, thats quite a bit, I'll stop there.
