Now that everyone is lightening up....here is a list of all the excuses I used in North Carolina: I think I might have a flat tire (Slow down, will ya?) I definitely have a flat tire (Help me change it) I don't have a low enough gear (I've gained 5 pounds) I've decided to buy a lighter bike (I've gained 10 pounds) I'm taking up clog dancing (I've gained 25 pounds) I'm carbo loading (Pass the ice cream) I'm tapering (I haven't ridden in 2 months) She's a hammer (Janet is faster than me) I bonked (All I took for a 4-hour ride was a half-empty bottle of month-old OJ and a moldy Twinkie) Thanks for waiting (Wipe that smug grin off your ugly face) He's such a wheelsucker (I can't drop him) Hold on, there's something wrong with my bike (Let's stop so I can rest) My tires suck! (This climb is killing me!) It's getting dark (I wanna go home) This bike is a piece of shit! (I can't ride worth shit) My bike was acting funny (Otherwise I would have whooped your butt!) That thing's a piece of crap (I wish I had one...) The above originally comes from a column in Bicycling mag entitled "Parlez-Vous Bike? - What Cyclists Say and What They Mean." by Scott Martin.
