Ah, those sweet sounds whilst cycling ...

[Deleted member 1258]

The creak of my knees

Or my arthritic hip.

 

[cyberknight]

Strange noises in the bushes at 1 am coming home after late shift or is that just @Drago ?

 

[DCBassman]

The late Richard Ballantine always thought it might be the egg-beater effect of spokes on air that riled some dogs...

Tyres on tarmac. The creak of my Brooks.

Do all Brooks creak?
Having just finished my Pandemic Pedal LEJoG, with more hours on the saddle (B17) than I care to mention….I notice it creaks a lot!

Thought it was something mechanical, but get out of the saddle and it disappears!
Would love to not have it all the time…it’s like leather water torture 🤪

Mine is the sprung one and it does have the odd creak of leather regularly. More so pedalling in the saddle up hills.

The harmonic sounds of the clatter as you speed through a shallow pot hole on a shaded fast hill descent

The harmonic sounds of the clatter as you speed through a shallow pot hole on a shaded fast hill descent

The same clatter/rattling noise from the bike and your teeth as you speed over a cattle grid.

 

[All uphill]

I'm convinced that I'll tempered dogs and drivers can detect the unbearable presence of anyone enjoying themselves at 200 yards, and it drives them mad!

Loose change in my pocket

My house keys in the jersey back pocket when I stand on the pedals.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

The sound of wind escaping as a rider gets out of the saddle to climb a hill.

That's part of my propulsion system, I'll have you know.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

That rumble in the moment you realise you’ve got a puncture.

Blackcaps singing in the undergrowth. Now I can recognise them its a real pleasure every spring as they arrive.
