And your nomination of a term for someone who scalps someone who has just scalped them is?

[Jon George]

Okay, I know it was juvenile and competitive, but 40 miles into a ride today, someone cruised past me (with wonderful disdain) and I felt obliged to scamper off after them. Thirty seconds later, I cruised past them as we went up a hill (a blip in the terrain in most any other county other than Suffolk), and somehow resisted the impulse to take my hands of the handlebars and inspect my fingernails. There must be a name for this.

Nobber........?

 

[Shut Up Legs]

Don't know, but my personal term for the other guy who tried to scalp you, but ultimately couldn't stay in front, is: wannascalp . Don't know if that's in general use, just a silly term I invented.

Male.

 

[Kies]

Nobber or cockwomble .... But nobber sounds more obtuse ;-)

 

[Paul.G.]

A cyclist

hill in suffolk !

Come ride with me. Into and out of the Stour and Colne valleys a few times and I'll have you begging for mercy! There are no shortage of hills in this neck of Suffolk.

Been there, done that! It's just that I feel anybody outside our region with hills that go on for miles might look at our offerings with mild disdain.

I have found that if you talk to them as you repass them they ignore you . Some people have no manners .

 

[MontyVeda]

'scalping' or the term i prefer, 'overtaking', is far more rewarding when you're on an MTB with fat tyres, jeans and a t-shirt.... not for the MAMILS of course... they just get a taste for revenge.

Poseur

The yanks have a thing called a "Poseur Pass" where you summon up ALL your energy to scalp someone then as youn out of energy and the other person overtake you again, turn off, have a breakdown, or have to answer the phone
