Humility is..

Although to be fair I just want to see Ma3K do something that he doesn't want to and frequently bitches about.

riding sober?!

why are you doing a 1 day in 10 slow ride anyhow, ma3k?

I take it easy one day in one.

I think letting the nodders 'win' is all part of having a better day. Especially when they're bow legged and wearing flip flops and pedalling with their heels. And they have their cycle helmets on the back of their heads.

Then you cruise past at the lights that they had to stop at but you timed perfectly.

you have heard of Midnight Club...well welcome to Mid-day Club!

Change is as good as a holiday.

Although I never seem to get a suntan or duty free when I change

Do they honestly call themselves the Embankment Peloton?

Oh jesus they do...

I'm out too early to see these guys. Thank god!

I've returned to lycra for my commute after my doctor told me that I shouldn't have 3 testicles.
Oddly, I wasn't particularly uncomfortable until he told me I should be. Who'd be a doctor eh?
So, a week off the saddle, some anti-biotics and I'm back to near normality.

For the love of fucksake. That's hilarious.

I swallowed some sick...

Bellends.

I wonder if I am a "single speed fixed gear steely eyed dealer of death track standing at the front your eyes fixed at the road ahead"

Or is that mouse?

Track standing is like making love to a beautiful woman. When the perfect opportunity arrives I usually fuck it up. Especially if she sees my shorts.

Dong a station commute on my singlespeed clown bike has taught me some humility.
I spend longer enjoying the cruisey feeling and dont mind the overtakers..
it's a nice change of pace, but I don't think I would enjoy it for much longer than a couple of miles?!
^ more like making love to a beautiful man - starts off nervous, your shivers turn to wobbles, and you end up hurting your arse and your pride.

it just gets better...

They say that pride comes before a fall. Sitting here with four busted ribs and a fractured scapula I am forced to agree seeing at this particular fall was due to my inability to let anyone go past. It wouldn't be so bad but I am forty four years old and it is probably about time I learned to let that kinda thing go. A little bit of humility on my part wouldn't go amiss.

The Bikeradar commuting forum is what the world would be like if the Daily Mail endorsed cycling.

When I did my first half marathon I was tortured by this fat-arsed middle-aged lady, whose cellulite bum waddled ahead of me after three miles and I never was able to catch her.

Start riding audaxes. Humility is being buried by gnarly, chicken-legged old men over 200k and being congratulated by them on a good effort at every control.

Humi-what?

Guys!

This has been discussed elsewhere - the first rule of Secret Commute Bike Race Club is that you don't talk about it! Well OK then.

This is the food chain......

Scooters
Single speed fixed hub
Single Speed
Roadies
Roadies with hairy legs
"Fast Hybrids"
MTBs on Skinnies
MTBs on Nobbies
Bromptons / collapsing bikes
MTB full sus on Nobbies
Shoppers
Shoppers wicker baskets
Electric bikes

Dropping / Pulling anyone higher in the food chain makes you stronger and more attractive to burds. Getting dropped / trying to keep up with anyone lower means your soul hires a kudos remover to lower your self worth.

This is the way it is brothers.

Don't try and deny it.
