Iโm confused
Its a game for both riders, one is purposely not working, and the others try to pressure them into working, this is just a part of the game
Biggest group of whiners anywhere, collectively.
How slow
still not my turn
90% of bike racing is half mental.
Just get out front and shit your pants, nothing motivates people to get out in front harder.
This is a bike race, not a group ride.
I hate complaining!
Whining. That is all cyclists do. Canโt stand them and I blame them for every road incident.
Yes! Yes, I am kidding you!
#STAY_CYCLING_MY_FRIENDS
Lol, expecting the people to work for you when they are not with you. They dont gain anything with you finishing with a good time
3 Karenโs
yes…she is kidding you
Are these broads? yawn nnnnn
I usually cycle away more than I cycle to nowadaysโฆ
Still may good keep me away from the cattle of nagging Karen – il would get ptsd just passing them
Iโm more and more convinced that the act of cycling turns people into arrogant, entitled nasty assholes. More and more of them are horrible on the roads
Hah roadies
When I first started racing a looong time ago, an older rider told me that if you're the type who worries a lot about what other people think of you, bike racing is not your sport. Sometimes you have to be a dick and make other riders do the work. Dirty faces win races.
can someone explain to me this scenario and whats happening? i dont know anything about cycling culture and what not but it seems interesting.
Women being women.
This is me on the trail when I ride up from behind someone and pass them because the pace that I've set for myself for the day is faster than the pace they've accept themselves, and as I pass them the accelerate, sometimes trying to run me off the trail or into the oncoming walkers or cyclists.
Then they try to hang with me, as if they're saying no you're not passing me I'm faster than you.
Like it's, bro, you were riding your ride I was riding my ride I'm passing you riding my ride and my pace.
I had a dude do this to me yesterday, killing himself to keep up with me, and eventually cut out a section of the trail across the road to get ahead of me and I still almost passed him a second time.
Weirdo.
And I was riding casual, he looked to be about 10 years younger at least than my 50 something years and he definitely was about 70 lb lighter than me, his bike looked to be about as good as mine so he's kind of a twit. And it was also the last ride of my week as well. I'm not sure, but I think he was just starting his ride and I was halfway through a 20 mile ride when we met.
There's a lot of douches on the backs of bikes, I'm sorry but it's true.
This incident was not an isolated event but one of many anecdotes i've experienced as a solo cyclist.
Yeah mate thatโs her job to be in the breakaway, but not work in the breakaway.
So who is wrong?
New rule should be no following
It is a race why should she take her turn. Cry babies
Most cyclists are karens. This is normal
Let this play 5 times in a row, and there's the reason I come home late from work every day.
It's a competition. You don't have to do jack-sh1t. It's called playing it strategic.
It's all fun and games until the trans cyclists show up.
Cant really blame em i mean this sport is also part mind game where small things would affect the entire race like ruining another teams momentum or wasting their stamina or causing them to lose time
Its just a joke among them
Karens…
Why no men, only women? They can't stand the complaining!
Thatโs bike racing .. as long as she pulls through gives a few peddle strokes before she comes off the front then so be it
Anybody explain?
Women complain about everything.
It's a race! Stop crying
I hope she was in a litter zone when she spat out her dummy.
Her team leader is behind, she doesnโt have to work ๐
I keep hearing are you kidding me and itโs keeping me awake at night
The most boring sport
