I assume anyone working out in a garage hasn't heeded the warning of American Beauty
I thought the moral of that story was not to knock one out in the shower?

How do I know if my beard is hipster or not?
If it's pretty, groomed and you have slicked hear with shaven sides.... it's Hipster.
Phew.
Thank God for that.
The thought of being mistaken for a hipster nearly put me off my flat white.

You never used Eco friendly, vegan or Macchicato or however the hell people spell it.
tazzymtb - MemberI really dont think the mad old Highlands dwelling beardie gives two hoots, what others think or do. He'll be off pottering about on some 1930's three speed thing with funny bars up a mountain looking like a deranged Santa Clause.
Funniest post on here for a while. I suspect epicyclo might actually be quite proud of that description
Cheers Weeksy, that's amazeballs. Not sure I could squeeze it over my cake belly and man-boobage though.
cockpit...
...in reference to handlebars.
No, it's your handlebars.
It's not remotely like a cockpit unless you are sporting a tinplate analogue speedometer from the 1970's, a bell, a plastic wah wah police siren (also from the 70's) and an artificial horizon.
"Pain cave" is spectacularly naff, agreed.
I propose "shred shed" in its place.
My weapon of choice for gnarr is a called my bike.
'Spare room of Zwifting zoom' if you don't mind
Two things need banning:
People who call their bikes "she" and people who say "I run (X) on my bike".
Grrrrr.
"Cycling trends that need to die. Episode 47"
Enduro Bobble hats
People knocking Zwift and/or turbo training.
Saying "reach out" rather than "contacted/spoke to"
My pets hates are the confusion of rake and offset in cycling - and the way they quote the angles the opposite way to motorbikes.
All the pretentious stuff - rig / cockpit etc just makes me laugh

Well... I'd say cockpit is more used to describe,handlebars,grips,stem and any other handlebar furniture.
The only time the term cockpit should be allowed on bikes is if you wear flight goggles, a scarf, and frequently shout "If you can fly a Sopwith Camel, you can fly anything."
Also referring to the hundreds of miles of ancient man made bridleways and byways as 'natural' trails.
Fixie's and people who call fixed gear bikes fixie's. Realise the trend is all but dead but it needs to completely disappear so I can just get on with riding my fixed gear bike in peace
Undercarriage of Farage,not really turbo related,but distinctly unpleasant,and probably smells similar.

It's still a bike, not the Eurofighter....
I don't mind turbos, got one myself.
I also like video games.
But bowling on the Wii isn't bowling.
Equally, using a turbo or Zwift isn't cycling.

Ah, and yet to care about what people start threads about is absolutely fine and normal.

It's just a contraction. As is "bike", which you appear to be arbitrarily perfectly happy with. (Along with omitting pronouns and full stops, and inserting wayward apostrophes, but I digress.)
I hate these threads, because one of the things that riles me is people getting all pompous and fussy about other people using words in a perfectly legitimate fashion. God help us if you lot ran the world and we had to use the most tediously literal devices possible for everything: we'd end up with a literary culture whose apogee was the script for a self-service checkout.
you sound like fun

Whereas moaning about the word "fixie" is the very definition of hedonism, obviously.
Pergola of perspiration?

Whereas pretty much everyone else pumping out clouds of carcinogenic guff by burning dinosaur juice obtained through massive political and military effort in the middle of the road is just dandy? 😉
fist bumps
Come on, gotta allow fist bumps - only in their proper place post-gnar, pre-gnar fist bumps are ridiculous.
I do my turboing outside in the garden, specifically on the decking. how should I refer to my turboing area?

I've read that Alexa has much better voice recognition than other equivalents and gets more frequent updates.

Fist pumps.... never!
