We're going to yell at you.

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

We're going to yell at you.

It's dangerous, and it makes you look stupid. Good thing I didn't have enough breath to waste on yelling at that bozo.
Wait until you do the Thursday night BPAC ride.........

*RANT ON* So much more a night person, that I occasionally consider just staying up all night to do the 5:30 insanity that people go for. WTH? if you are going so early you need lights, why not just go late???*RANT OFF*

I hate it when elitist cyclists won't speak to you at the beginning of a ride, then start yelling and pulling on your jersey. It makes me want to throw my SPD sandals at them.

you know.... you guys and this thread....
I have read it and was prepared for the worst! when someone touched my back, I thought for sure he was going to pull my jersey and say something mean to me, turned out he was just trying to give me a gentle push up the hill to help!

Even elitist's have a heart. Ride hard, ride safe and most groups will grudgingly accept you. That doesn't mean you never get yelled at fer doing something dumb! We all do.

He only did it because you're a fit female. He'd never push a dude

True story: I know a Cat 2 rider who yelled at Frankie Andreu for pulling out of the line and leaving a gap in front of him.
Frankie reached back, offered a hand sling. The guy took it. Gap closed.

Yell. It usually gets the job done.

Someone has to adopt this as a signature line. It applies to so many settings in life.

I haven't yelled at anyone yet in anger. Maybe one day I will have the opportunity.


In a cycling event - I might add.
