So yeah... This seems to be the most notorious section for smart mouthed elitists .... *I kid*, but I'm wondering what kinda confessions you guys have here

I'm ashamed of my ventura comp.
I envy people with the balls to wear bike shorts
I wish i had more group riders in my area

to start it off

LowCel 

I'm too fat for this sport.
My bikes are too good for me.

Psimet2001 

I can't reply to emails effectively in a timely manner
Making bike wheels doesn't pay enough bills to allow me to quit my "real" job
I can say with authority that when it comes to promoting bike races you truly don't want to see what's being put into the sausage.

NYRhyme

you are probably the most honest man here +1


I don't get your last confession o.o

eippo1

I use my wife's razor more often than she does.
I work on/ clean my bikes more than I ride them.
I have no business building up a rain bike since I ride everything in the rain anyway

Crimsonghost

This.

NYRhyme

using your wife's razor more often than she does....

Spookeay Bird

I want a new bike so I hide it by spending way more on fixing up old ones than a new one would cost me.

pdxtex

i spend more money on bicycles then i do on my girlfriend.

i am obsessed with perfect paint finishes. scratches drive me crazy.

i post on this goofy board from work.

i eat pizza, bratwurst, drink pbr (the ford pinto of beers apparently!!) and could give a crap about proper cycling nutrition. im not fat though.

edit.....i also shop at performance.....and like it.

i often find wrenches or other tools on my bed.

edit edit......i run stop signs at night when nobody is around. i oogle other bikes as much as hot girls walking by. i never say on your left (have a noisy euro freehub!!) and get annoyed when somebody else does

I didn't stop when the firetruck passed me.

Deacons like to say we "hear confessions" but we cannot do anything to help you out see the priest for absolution.

My bike savings was just taken away, yet I still dream and pout about it. So I ride my MTB on the road and place my forearms on the handlebars to pretend that I am on a road bike.

oban_kobi

That's sad


I plan my finances around bicycles.

Spookeay Bird

MY GOD! this man is going to hell!!!!!!!!!!!

snowman40

I did that as a kid....probably not the smartest idea as my tires were caked with mud and as a result I was sliding all over the place at 30 mph. Ah, good times.

NYRhyme

what's pbr?

I only go into the drops when no one is looking, if there's one person watching me I automatically go back on the tops.

calamarichris

I feel dirty if my legs get hairy and I use a depilator instead of shaving.
(But I still like the company of women.)

Also sometimes I use q-tips when cleaning my road bikes, (okay, and increasingly on my mountainbike.)

Edit: Look at the aristocrat! PBR= Pabst Blue Ribbon, the Ford Pinto of beers.

nacler22

I like bacon

Velo Vol 

I covet Pcad's bench.

Psimet2001 

I still get nervous just before the start of every race - even when I don't anticipate doing well anyway.

mmmdonuts

I don't like donuts.
I don't like cyclists.
Only one of the above is true.

mpath

I look in the full length mirror before I go riding to make sure my kit is just right.

I like race cut jerseys and compression wear as it shows off my hard-earned P90X body.

RT

At least you have one. A girlfriend, not a bike.

I own two PBR/Old Style cycling jerseys. They are my favorites.

carmonkie

I am not fat, just very muscular and fit. I never get drop, just drop people and climb like a mountain goat.
(I climb ok, still get dropped and I am average fit while not on cycling attire)

Most of the time my bike is cleaner than my car.

Hulley

I obsess more about riding that actually riding. I'm working on that though. (see fit problems)
I'm changing careeres to give me more time to ride, that is a very true statement.
