Track bikes, expensive non-versatile toys meant for only riding around some crappy relatively flat concrete hell hole.
edit: werd to jim-bob, damn right, I almost want to aim for those little **** stains.

the endless track bike=hipster association. of the rides i know a quater actually are and the rest are just freaking bike dorks. hey...remember when bikes WERENT cool? like if you were caught on one you were called a bunch of sh...it just for not driving?
also.....unwrapped bars of any type on the street.....thats a GREAT way to break your colar bone
also the thought of more expensive+ good looking=must be tits in everyway possible.
also living in the bay area which means that because all forms of bikes are popular(which is great) the market is super jacked up.
also people oing half ass conversions....unwrapped road bars, no suicide hub just a chain with a buncha links snatched off and then replaced back onto the rusted(its always rusted) cassette.
also camo bar tape....i HATE THAT ISHT! actually.....i really love it and use it from time to time. it matches my uh.....night vision goggles and uh....my sniper rifle which is broked down into parts and lives in my uh...camo msgr bag....uh....

bad drivers that attempt to intimidate me on the roads.
people that get all pissy about what sort of set up you have and where you
are 'sposed to ride it. that is: "no njs on the street", "must wrap track drops", "must unwrap track drops". please leave me and my bike alone. this is so prevalent on bike forums... if nitto is the most available brand of threaded drop stems and it happens to be NJS who the frick cares?
edit: i think i've just spent too much time on this forum reading *****y comments, it'll take years of de-programming to get the voices out of my head. do this, don't do that, that seat is too high, that seat is too low, wrap your bars, put a break on, deep v's suck, conversions suck...whatever! please get a ****ing life! the weather is getting better, my time is done here...

People who get offended when somebody on the internet doesn't blow a load over their bike.
STI shifters.
Chains that rust.
When I unintentionally unclip.
Cars that swerve when the driver sees you, even though you were nowhere near them.
Mopeds on sidewalks.

Alright my real pet peeve/bane of my existence is jake-braking truckers going north on i5. So if any of you guys are truckers and ever truck through the terwilliger curves, I am going to kick your teeth in, also just don't drive on it, cause it still is noisy, god I need to move.
