I confess...

I was playing Red Dead Redemption the other day and became emotional (SPOILER ALERT) when reunited with my wife and son.

*Virtual world problems.

I actually find Will Young's current single really catchy.

hangs head in shame

I just facebook searched a rude word and discovered that I share 6 mutual friends with someone already. Adding him to my friends list where he can hang out with with Fanny Forest and Sharon Cock.

I am really a very good (hobby) bicycle mechanic, but I don't know the names for almost anything I can do to/with a bike.

Leads to lots of 'oh you mean tightening the thingy with the other thingy' conversations with fellow bicycle nerds.

Sharon Cock lol

Well, obviously...

You know what I mean. It takes a while to learn that the toolkit you already had isn't shit and that you already had the obscure tool for the thing that someone abbreviated the name of the brand that built the thing that you didn't know what it was called anyway does to the other thing that's attached to the bit that OH WHO GIVES A FUCK I FIXED IT ON MY OWN...

Really like that picture as a piece of design though; wonder if I can get a posted somewhere to throw up in me bike shed...

I'm addicted to Prawn cocktail pringles. I cant stop eating them!

You're a bad man.

I've done a whole tube and now I'm of to get more! HAHAHAHA!!!!

Help me.

There's a rumour going round about poppage and stoppage. I thought it was an urban myth.

Anyway, you're on your own.

Its true! There should be a warning on the packet!

I've just realised most cyclists don't wear boxers/pants under their bibshorts.

This is disturbing, after all the club runs and training sessions I've been to, and to think I was only lycra away from such delicate goods. I feel cheated!

I'm just getting to grips with the sport of cycling where everything is the opposite;
The more malnourished you are the more people say how good you're looking,
where people snigger at unshaven legs
and if you kit isn't clean or the colours clash you can be ostracised...

This may be too much.

I confess to accidentally drafting people because I get paranoid that it's rude to overtake.

What's worse is that sometimes I'm only going a tiny bit faster than the person in front, and I know that:
a) if I start to overtake it'll take ages;
b) if I speed up to make it take less time I'll get tired and end up slowing down right in front of them
c) if I stay behind them then I look like some kind of weirdo stalker-pervert type

It's just embarrassing :(

I get that with walking

I have nearly all Germaine Greer's books.

To think I used to really rate her...

I was scared of fixed wheel. Only started riding fixed by accident - when the bike that came to me over ebay did not have a drilled bridge, and I wasn't going to ride it as a one-brake SS.

I have never touched a fixie due to concerns about my knee. Does it stress your bone joints?

That I acted like a dick this morning. Some bell end cut across me at the lights - I was goign straight through on green and he was turning right.

I had to slam on the anchors and swerve left (onto the wronfg side of the road -if that makes sense) to avoid hitting the twat.

it was such a stupid thing for him to do, he had no right of way and totally misread the whole situation. If I were a car I would have hit him (maybe).

Anyway I saw red and chased him - not hard given his pathetically slow pace. He didn't really want to engage in conversation and looked like he was shitting himself. I tried to reassure him I wasn't going to hit him or anything I just wanted to discuss what he did. Anyway he wouldn't and he kept stopping and turning around to avoid me.

Eventually I was about to give up when I tried to clip back in, slipped on the pedal and fell off at about 4mph. Really embarrassing... (and this may be evidence of karma).

Either way I didn't want to scare the guy just explain to him and make him understand how stupid his riding was. In the end I failed to do all these things and cut my elbow.

Arse!

Sounds like you were quite adrenalinized. If he had stopped you'd have surprised yourself with how squeaky and irrational your voice sounded. I'm always amazed at how high pitched I get at times like that. You probably got off lightly.

^ I'm from Liverpool and my voice is screechy enough. With the adrenaline it went up even further to the point he probably couldn't hear what I was saying unless he was a dog. No wonder he fled...

I own a NoLogo as my only bike, I use it to commute and I can't afford anything decent.
However, I give approximately zero f*cks as I love riding.
And I still come on here and read about all your fancy bikes.

I get overtaken by everyone on my bike. I am a fit, 27-year-old male who routinely gets overtaken by girls (imagine the humiliation!) on Pashleys wearing flowery skirts.

This is a cry for help
