[Closed] Am I being a bit of a self absorbed tool?

Then I was out with the kids at the weekend and realised that when you're used to having to cycle pushing a three year old up every hill, then a hill when you don't have to push a three year old up it is so much easier.

tag a longs are good too you get an extra 40Kg of towage.

You have the friends you deserve. And they do too.

OP, Can you please post up a video of how to repair a puncture? Maybe have some EPO in the shot.
I'm sure the females of the shire all queue at your door hoping for your seed.

It is/was a friendly night ride and no more

Sounds really friendly. 😕

I often ride in a group and there is constant chatter of all kinds, but we always wait at the top for the last person and at the bottom for the last person.

Serious ribbing waits for the pub 🙂

There are only two permissable forms of commentry on your ridding buddies performance and they are as follows.

GUUUWWWWAAAAHHHRRRRN - when they are doing well

And

YAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH (accompnaied with pejorative hand gesture) - when not doing so well.

HTH

Not to mention the 20kg of extra crap in the rucksack that you have to carry when cycling with kids "just in case"

[q]complained he couldn't match my gearing and on the whole both spent the whole evening after I left themon the first climb complaining about tire pressures, shock pressures drive train comparisons and inefficiencies and the fact that I had fresh legs and they have done various other exercising things this week (things they have done every week for over a year so should show some benefit from/resilience to by now?)[/q]

He does sound like a tool

was rather short with me when I suggested he man up

You hit the spot. Good job!

Only as much as everybody else on here. Which means yes.

I really dislike willy waving, turns good people into nobbers, ruins the confidence of lessers which in turn worsens their riding.

What are the best times riding, or even in life? With mates, relaxed, no egos, congratulating each other on each other on their achievements and hard work. The positivity brings out the best in everyone, everyone rides better and has more fun.

I really detest that society congratulates put downs and generally demeaning behaviour, far slower to reward hard work and good people.

My view is is if your mates are having an off day you turn the crank that little bit harder and ask them if they are ok - you can see the hate in their eyes - nothing better than that IMO.

Normally this is what they do to me - sends me crazy.

DC... I love this comment! 😉
