AARGH!
Uphill
Shred,
Singlespeed
trailhead
I think I may speak on behalf of most on here and say the fear word is ''downhill'' 😆
gears
'Rig' and 'Steed'
"Paso" it's what someone shouts when they are about to lap you!
"technical" 🙄
sweet ride
I was [b]running[/b] some fox forks, I [b]swapped[/b] them out for some pikes. I was [b]stoked[/b]
cant ride
'all mountain'
Shred
my "stable" of bikes always annoys me.
Jedi is that as opposed to "won't ride"?
'she' 'her' as in describing a bike FFS!
Darkside
Thrashed
thv3 - Membermy "stable" of bikes always annoys me.
That's bad, but I think 'quiver' is even worse.

AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
Rip
Bunny,
You're right quiver is far worse.
Also, "sic" or "sick,
As in, "thats a sick ride man!"
Darkside
roadtrip (do you mean holiday?)
steed
stable
he/she in reference to bikes
Uptight.
Rad
It mildly annoyed me but started using it when riding with friends just to take the piss. Somehow the word now gets used in everyday life naturally.
Slammed
As in "Whoa, you're running that seatpost totally slammed, dude".
What, you mean, as low as it'll go?
Slammed should only ever be used to refer to a crash, as in:
"Good bike ride, darling?"
"Yes, thanks, the only thing which spoiled it was when Pete slammed and had his anus smashed in by his very low seatpost".
How
Much?
you cant do anything about a wont. a cant can be changed 🙂
Jedi, what about an apostrophe or two, eh? 😉
de-layering (taking off a jersey!!)
running tubeless
you could buy a car for that
how much? for a push bike with one gear !

steed

"quiver" is an ironic work of genius.
For me it would have to be armchair shite like "overdamped"
"training ride"
For me it would have to be armchair shite like "overdamped"
What were you watching to overdamp an armchair?
Cockpit - It's a bike and not a f***ing harrier jump jet.
Running - As in 'I'm running <insert generic brand here> forks.' Again, it's a bike and not a nuclear submarine
Steed,rig,technical, base layer (it's a posh vest ffs),ffs.
The words have evolved with the sport.
Would you still like to be "cruizing" on a rigid bike down some "sheep track" getting some "jolly hard" sections in and feeling "tikety boo"?
Get wiv da timez bruv innit! You need to be shreddin trailz on yo sled hittin wickid linez teched out 2 da maxx and getting yo buzz on man! Stoked.
Peace out.
It's all nonsense of course, but it's part of the sport's identity now and all of us old duffers can't change it by posting it on a forum.
Embrace the slanguage!
cfh, takes to long 😉
Steed, Stable, Darkside, Jey, quiver
Fred is so Jey, He's just added a Darkside steed to his stable. I cant believe he has such a quiver of machines.
STFU you ass hole
Get wiv da timez bruv innit!
That sounds like mockney Jamaican shit lingo
"Rapha"
BONK... most of the words mentioned so far have suitable alternatives and/or are easily understood by the majority of the english speaking world..
except for the childish and irreverent bonk
Usually it's only young folk that use these words anyway.. and they are an annoying breed to be avoided at all costs...
I quite like all the jhey.. and gnar and steed etc etc.. it makes it a very quick and simple task to sort out the annoying and quite possibly mentally flawed from the rest of us without actually ever having to try to get to know someone..
