OMFG hilarious!

Even funnier than the first one! If you don't have a cat, you won't get it.

I don't happen to agree with the sentiment, but it's still funny, and probably a lot of people do!

Brilliant

Even in the 1950s people became assholes behind the wheel.

From BSNY:

If you're like me, you've been frustrated by the diminutive diameter of your road bike headset bearings. Sprinting with a 1 1/8" front end is like balancing an unabridged dictionary on a sewing needle. And as for a 1" setup, it's hard to imagine anybody ever rode a bicycle like that. I strongly believe than any still left should be forcibly removed from the road, and if you're still riding one then you must be stupid, suicidal, or both.

...However, it looks like I'm going to need a new bike sooner than I intended, since I smashed my last one to bits Pete Townshend-style this past weekend after failing to win yet another road race due entirely to my outmoded front end setup. (Though to be fair my lack of an eleventh cog was also partly to blame.)

Hilarious! I do sympathise with the bicycle industry though. How do you improve on decades of improvement of a basically very sound design?

What REALLY happens in a bike race crash

Like a cat, I figure I have finally used up my nine lives. In fact, if I start counting, I've used up a whole lot more than that in near-misses and blind luck, plus a dollop of hard-earned experience to see me through a few. So, in my very few years of bike racing, I've figured out how bike crashes really work, as have the majority of my readers I suspect. For those of you who don't bump elbows out there on a regular basis, here's what REALLY goes down (pun intended):

* Rider near the front (A) scratches his ass.
* Next rider (B) stops pedaling for a second to avoid overlapping wheels
* Rider beside him (C) and half a wheel back touches his brakes lightly to avoid hooking handlebars
* Rider moving up on the inside (D) has to brake harder because he's been accellerating
* Rider behind him (E) has to swerve
* Rider behind him (F) was overlapping wheels in the crosswind and goes down

So, who's "fault" was it? (F) himself for overlapping wheels? No, he's going to yell at (E) for swerving. (E) is going to yell at (D) for trying to move up in a curve. (D) is going to blame (C) for braking. (C) is going to yell at (B) for sitting up. (B) is going to yell at (A) for riding "sketchy." The lesson here?

DON'T SCRATCH YOUR ASS IN A BIKE RACE!

The Cat 6 guide to road racing...

...has been plagiarized by BSNY. Some gems:

Being in a breakaway is like going from a cushy job at a big company with a regular paycheck to a really hard job at a tiny company where you have to work 16 hour days on commission only and people are always yelling at you.

I mean, seriously, if you want to suffer do a cyclocross race.

If you don’t know what no-man’s land is, it’s kind of like that period after you learned what the cycling-related jokes on the Primal jerseys meant, but before you figured out that it was totally uncool to wear them, so you just rode around alone wearing a Primal jersey and looking ridiculous.

But in road racing, if you find yourself dropped and alone, you stop racing. This is perfectly acceptable, and it’s because, unlike other activities, road racing is not done for fun.
