Road cycling is a sociable sport - in fact, we'd argue that it's best enjoyed with friends. What that means is that you'll talk with your riding partners, and, at some point, you'll need to insult them too...

3:02 "I'm pumping up my tire, it's personal!" - "I know, but it looks _epic_ !" 😂

The best use of "amateur" as an insult was a professor who was loudly yelling it at a photocopier machine that refused to do what he wanted.

Really? My understanding of sandbagger was a very strong rider who races in a grade below their standard so they can win.

@junkyarddaug 9 лет назад

+John Duncan agreed, your version applies across all sports really.

@xlr8442 9 лет назад

+John Duncan I always thought "sandbagging" was when someone capable of competition, for whatever reason, decides to under-perform during said competition.

@justindelarge3783 9 лет назад

+John Duncan The only time I have heard the term sandbagger used is in motocross, or similarly cherry picker. Guess it differs in cycling. But your version is what I am familiar with

@echtogammut 9 лет назад

+John Duncan Yep that has been my understanding as well. It is so bad in the cat 3/4 class they started forcing upgrades.

@charliedillon1400 9 лет назад

+John Duncan True here in the States. I did a really low key mountain bike race a while back and there was a group of about six "A" group riders racing in the "C" race. They were saying they wanted more training. When I got 11th out of 22 in my heat I considered it a top five. Full carbon MTB, shaved legs, team kit, in the "C" race = sandbaggers.

@milanvdv 9 лет назад

Matt, you were probably called a cheesehead because you were wearing the British championship jersey? Because that jersey looks like the flag of the Netherlands and in Belgium we often refer to them (the Dutch) as 'kaaskop' which literaly means 'Cheesehead'. He thought you were a Dutchman!

@obiwac 5 лет назад

@Dragonman0876 7 лет назад

Last Sunday I was headed back home after a ride with my mates and happened to cross path with a fellow road biker adopting an aero stance on his tri bar clip ons when he merged to the road I was on at a cross junction. He was going like 25 or 26km/hr all the while in that aero stance. And not wanting to be an asshole rider, or passing a wrong insult message, I followed behind for a good 5 mins or so till we came to a traffic junction where I saw the best opportunity to overtake while he slowed down (traffic was safe to do so). Think he didn't like that, and sprinted to want to take lead. As he came up to me, I tried to give a friendly nod, but was completed ignored. And in that instance, I decided to deliver the best insult by continuing to hold onto the hood of my bar, pull as straight and 'relaxed' a face as I could (but dying inside), and powering up enough to drop him and continuing at the powered up speed for as long as I could, never once turning the head back. Hahaha. I think all riders should mount a small side mirror for this sake.

@factsabouturmum9250 9 лет назад

I've recently added a new favorite to my lexicon of cycling insults. I took it from bodybuilder culture. "Do You Even Lift?" DYEL is an amazingly versatile insult so I have adapted it to cycling by swapping out the final word for appropriate terminology. Do You Even Ride? Do You Even Fast? Do You Even Climb? Do You Even Cargo? Hell, for that matter, Do You Even Lift? The applications are endless. Try it out yourself! But then again, Do You Even Ride?

@robbchastain3036 8 лет назад

A big insult I saw on the pack of a commuter one late afternoon in '09 in DC was a sign that said "NO DRAFTING." I, too, was a westbound commuter that day, waiting at the line at a light near the Smithsonian. And the only reason I saw his stupid sign was that he encroached on my position, sorta scooting half his road bike in front of my commuter mountain bike on my left. Then another commuter did the same thing on my right. And I did not appreciate the disrespect, like who where these guys to crowd me out? So I calmly waited for the light and as soon as I saw green, I launched myself immaculately between them as they clipped in and I sprinted furiously until I had just pipped the next light. And when I looked back, Mister No Drafting knew he'd been schooled. And I just smiled and sailed away and swooped over the 14th Street Bridge and then up the trail to Rosslyn with him surely seething back there somewhere. it was great. And I was thinking, "Don't worry, dude, I don't need to draft you."

And when he does, he's quite slow. Go back to your caviar and cocaine, Mr. Hotshot. One should also remember, "25 yard dash man." You know, the guy who is pretty sure he's better than you, so he hammers as hard as he can in a high gear just to pass you, then immediately drops in speed, causing you to either grab the brakes or swing out into the lane to overtake him... Just stay behind me, homie, 'cuz you ain't even fast.

Does anyone else use the term 'Pro' as an insult? Typically aimed at a cyclist who has all the latest kit but not a clue. Often said sarcastically as in "Look at him, even his balls are made of carbon and he is off the back, he is a real pro."
