Cycling sayings

[Andy_R]

Every circular route is, on average, flat.

Non-cyclist to cyclist:
You cycled all the way here?! How are you going to get back?

Cyclist: I cycled 100 miles today.
Non-cyclist: Why?

 

[screenman]

On yer right!

 

[Pale Rider]

On yer right!

That's one I use, although a lot of pedestrians - and some cyclists - seem unable to grasp its meaning.

I often hear "a bad day on the bike is better than a good day in the office".

But what if the good day in the office was a surprise retirement with a few million as a parting gift?

Not so much a saying as a mantra when I'm going up a hard hill or mountain road, it's quite simple 'f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k' until I get to the top

Actually I do have one saying. There is an awesome descent near me, steep smooth road, through the alpine forest, can easily top 50 mph. Only problem can be tourists who wander across the road without looking. I don't speak the local lingo very well here but I find they seem to understand my shouting 'coming through, move or die', it works very well

Education is important but riding your bike is importanter.

Getting lighter wheels is the most effective way to cycle up hills faster

 

[Sharky]

My favourite one is the Lemond quote:
"It never gets any easier, you just get faster".

My version of this is "It never gets any harder, you just go slower"

 

[Rooster1]

"Cycling is not as hard as running is it".

(Well, I said to myself, depends how you run and how you ride really)

 

[Elybazza61]

Harden the f*ck up.

I thought the thread title was "Cycling Savings", which I guess goes to prove I shouldn't have gone to specsavers

 

[TrishE]

"Cycling is not as hard as running is it"

Or.. why are you running is your bike broken?

 

[HarryTheDog]

I have often heard
it's not always the strongest that wins. More often than not it's the smartest
( I must be neither then)
