Cyclist Nicknames

[Tim Hall]

Adrian "The Natural"

It seems to have omitted the final word, so we'll have to guess what it is. "Optimist" perhaps.

 

[ColinJ]

If it were not for the risk of being lynched by illiterate vigilantes, I reckon 'Pedalphile' would be rather good!

 

[Crackle]

La Mariposa and is it legal to allow Noodley to be left on his own, there ought to be a law about that.

 

[KEEF]

Velocitron is it a word

 

[The Couch]

How do I report the disgusting and inappropriate usage in this message?!?

(I believe everyone will agree .... that avatar picture with the dark sunglasses is just inappriotiate )
(but I do like the nickname )

Anyone who confesses their nickname when it maight be a bit, er, embarrassing, is looking for comment of the micky taking kind. It can vary with which team you are with. Non-English speakers can pick up on a word and it sticks. Can be very funny, or not, as the case may be!
No confessions

 

[AndyRM]

Michael "Bling" Matthews

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

You can find your own cycling nickname here:

I am "piernas del granito" - Granite Legs

I am, somewhat unimaginatively called (due to my weight):
Douglas The Feather ***** (my second name there).

'The Feather' - I like it!! (it's better than the other two possible choices too!)

Just reading about Kubler the other day, not a bad career. He retired 57 years ago in his late 30s, at 94 he's the oldest living winner of the Tour! Although his nickname, The Cowboy, came from his penchant for Stetson hats I couldn't find a pic of him wearing one. There were some good racing photos though.

Mile eater - they must have heard of my unwarranted reputation for over consumption of gels every mile

Is that a good old "double clanger" on the bike?

Those two front rings are nearly the same. If I recall they half the gear. I had a Campag one on an old Rotrax I bought off the bloke who once raced it.

It was the front changer I noticed. A hand operated rod front changer. I had one on one of my early bikes and every time you changed the front gear, it used to "clang".

In these days of indexed and electric gears, can you imagine what they had to use.
