Cycling pet hates

[azaro]

People who ride bikes and call some of the major components "break leavers".
See it a lot on ebay.
Ridiculous!

Oh, and my lungs - they always hurt more than my legs!

That's 2 things -no 3!

'rigs', 'steeds' and bikes being described as 'she'. :evil:

With you emphatically on the first two, but the last? Here? Rumpole had a point with She Who Must Be Obeyed.

I associate 'rig' with a modified set up, so it is ok for me when someone has adapted a bike to their fetish.

She is the term I use for everything! Boats, cycles, bikes, cars, trucks, houses, tents, computers, chairs, knives, etc.

Steed is a lovely word too, though one I would reserve for a beautiful steel ride with a lovely Brooks saddle!

I guess we all hate different things!

Steed is definately the worst of the lot!
Though none of them really bother me, honest.

Steed is definately the worst of the lot!

You are a bad guy from The Avengers, and I claim my £5.

I'll get me coat.

I don't even do the boats/ships as 'she' thing either. And I come from a semi-nautical background (no I'm not the man from Atlantis!).

Not even dreams in the shower of being him?




Although, truth be told, can't imagine that being the choice of dreams of many men, whilst in the shower, I'm guessing most are Lester Burnham-esque...
