Odd cycling habits/rituals?

[buttonnine]

Nice too know everyone else is as nuts as me, anyone need any help I actually work in mental health!.

 

[up hill struggle]

when I see rabbits & birds hoping around at the side of the shared path I give them plenty of warning that I'm far to fat to stop quickly & to stay where they are, normally gets a chuckle from anybody who's walking their dogs or joggers.

I also listen to my mp3 player when riding on the cycle path, loud enough for me to hear a bit of back ground music but not drown out the noise from other people, however I will sometimes start to sing quietly just load enough that I can hear myself forgetting that ive got ear phones on & am actually singing quite a bit louder than I realised, also take a song thats playing & makeup dirty or vulgar versions while I'm cycling alone only to realise somebody's sitting just behind me listening & decided not to pass.

ive also on occasion commented to myself on a fit girls figure only for her to throw a dirty look in my direction at which time I realise ive actually blurted out the words "nice ass" or "what wouldn't i do to that" instead of just thinking it, that happens often I have to say. Like one day at the doctors the doc bend down to get something from her bag wearing a loose fitting top which fell forward & I thought "there's the girls" to which she grabbed her top & sat up again rather quickly then burst out laughing when she realised I hadn't noticed id actually said it out loud, she keeps me going now calls it Roy walker syndrome (he used to say on catch phrase say what you see). Luckily she's open minded and up for a laugh.

Whereas I am one and I never sing it. Odd, that...

I noticed this morning that when ascending a steep hill I say (not out loud) "and one and two and one and two..." in rhythm with my laboured pedalling. Don't think I always do it though.

I always pretend to appear breathless at the top of a hill.

I always pretend not to be breathless at the top of a hill, but I'm actually quietly suffocating inside!

I make huge car shift noises like a race car when I pull off from the lights and change up the gears...

Apologies to the granny who I overtook in Cambridge, you were the first person to hear this.

Yep, only in blocks of 8. I know life had gotten easier when I find myself at 12. I also tell myself "come on girl, you can do it... "!

This thread is full of weirdo's !

 

[i hate hills]

I point and shout "peasant!" at cyclists in Aldi/Lidl clothing

Try shouting "PHEASANT " just to totally confuse the situation.

 

[i hate hills]

I point and shout "IMPOSTER!" at riders in Team Sky clobber. The day will doubtless come when I do this to a real Team Sky member and will look a bit silly.

Or do it in front of a posse' of them and get chased lol

 

[i hate hills]

I tend to shout random Pro Cyclist names at people in full kit, getting progressively louder; there was a guy in the SKY/Cavendish World Champion's jersey some time ago; 'Cav!, CAV! CAV!' then I turn to the person i'm with and say, 'I don't think he saw me...'

Crazy but very very funny

The other day on my holiday I cycled into Ipswich for the first time and got "So this is Ipswich" to the tune of this stuck in my head

From now on i will think of this when it starts getting air play at the beginning of October. ha ha.
