(Don’t bait this jackass, I told myself.)
I don’t take good enough care of my wife’s bike. Last time I changed her brake pads they were very nearly gone. I felt like a real asshole.
i don’t carry any tools with me when i mountainbike
[quote=zooktruck]I haven’t washed my clothes in about three months.
I could get better grades this semester but I just don’t feel like it.
I hate what the fixed gear has come to represent but I still love riding. I’m getting a lighter geared bike, but I’m scared I won’t like that.[/quote]
everything but the clothes.
I take pretty good care of wife bike, but that isnt’ too tough because it rarely gets used.
I also feel like I’ve unintentionally forced cycling onto the wife. I still can’t tell if she enjoys it or not, and she hardly ever rides unless I suggest it. It kind of makes me feel like an ass because I don’t want her to do something that she doesn’t want to do.
i have an expensive carbon aero wheel in the front and i’m slow as shit.
i trackstand at every light.
i’m not over tarck.
i can’t ride further than a block without a full set of tools and two u-locks.
i don’t know if my interest in cyclocross is a passing thing or real. i kind of want to start racing bmx again but cx could be rad as fuck.
this.
maybe cause if i needed to do a trail repair, i wouldn’t mind walking back though the woods/mountains- kinda just be like hiking, whereas walking along a roadside pushing/carrying a road bike i’d feel like a jackass.
i have a half-stripped frame in the closet that i promised to build up for my girlfriend over a year ago.

Post of the month.
I’ve spent three days on a tarck bike in the last year and a half. After watching some fixed gear videos the other day, I expressed my wish to build another tarck bike for no other reason than to “take my scene back”. I don’t even know what that means, but it expresses exactly how I feel.
I’ve had the same chain and cassette on my road bike for over a year of daily riding.
I tried to find pictures of my dream bikes to post in the dream bikes thread but after an hour of searching I realized that the Merckx, the Giant, the Gios and my Fuji Touring are my dream bikes. I just don’t have the money to build/restore them like they deserve.
i pick my nose when no one is looking
i pick my butt when no one is looking
i also pick bonechilling’s butt when noone is looking.
nowadays if i can get in two rides a week i’m doing good.
i’m scared to go on the weekend morning ride i used to go on because i’m worried i’m to out of shape.

i know how u feel. we took our bikes up to chicago and i felt bad because she had never ridden in traffic and and was having all kinds of issues. Later on i caught her actually having fun, but i hate that feeling that someone is only doing something because i want them to. i think she would enjoy it more if we didn’t live where we do and it was easier to use a bike for casual transportation.
I shower maybe once a week maybe every 2 weeks.
I can’t believe you guys are making a big deal about wearing a pair of pants for a week. My work jeans get worn for around a month between washes, and my nice stuff even longer. Wipe your butt and you won’t have to worry about your pants stinking like poo.
I pick my nose in public
i don’t dig around endlessly in public, but yeah, i’ll clear a boog or two out even in public, just try to be discreet about it.
