a continuation of the whole "list" theme, ben and i thought "shit cyclists think and do" might be entertaining.

1. You think any idiot that goes to the gym/has an upper body must be a mothalicka from the east coast and is "dumb", also people with pectoral muscles probably have self-esteem issues.
2. You have energy food preferences, and a product called "Hammer Gel" only semi-repulses you.
3. If given the chance between winning a race and hooking up with someone like Charlize Theron/Scarlett Johansson/Mara Abbott, you would choose crossing a line and throwing your hands in the air..."I WON I WON I WON!"
4. You think this web log is sometimes entertaining.
5. Allen Lim is one of the most influential characters of the twenty first century.
6. You don't worship Lance Armstrong, who is sort of a dick.
7. Instead you worship a kid named Kiel, who would kick Lance Armstrong's cancer-fightin', yellow-lovin' ass.
8. You prefer the photos on Velonews, over the CyclingNews ones, because you can scroll through them just by clicking on the photo.
9. You went out and bought two liters of grape-flavoured Pedialyte in preparation for a time trial, Allen Lim used cool, scientific lingo to say it was a good idea.
10. You think triathletes are gross, disgusting, foul human beings who lack class and urinate on themselves, they also probably do their dishes in the bathtub.
11. You think long-sleeved skinsuits are a good idea, and like the way they feel on your body.
12. You've been to a club where people wee on each other.
13. You can ride a bike a hundred miles safely and then crash at five miles per hour getting onto a bike path.
14. You think that road rash scars are all part of life's rich tapestry.
15. You refer to your car as "that thing that gets me to races".
16. Your jersey tan line never really goes away.
17. You have alienated many family members and friends by 'flaking' out on them to get some chamois time in.
18. You can't wait until "DZ's Nuts" hits the market.
19. You also perhaps started rocking the DZ cappuccino stain after watching ToC Velonews interviews, but soon regretted doing so.
20. You think the entire month of July should be considered a holiday, so you wouldn't have to skip work to watch the tour.
21. You think the BikeSnobNYC, although often times right, is probably a huge weenie and a shitty racer.
22. After being warned by the grandmotherly owner of the Cozy Cottage that it was not possible to eat three of her famous fruit and nut pancakes you proved her wrong by doing so...then you spent six hours riding them off.
23. You're emaciated and thirty pounds underweight, but persistently tell people you're getting heavy. Your name is Steve Forbes.



...Are we missing something, hit up the "comments"...

You might be a cycling nerd if you think Mara Abbott is as hot as those other chicks you listed. Mara if you are googling your name and happen upon this blog, Colin Don thinks you are neat, also, his body doesn't produce lactate acid and has 24 chromosomes, thus your children will win many bike races, but be in the special class at school(who cares being smart is lame). If you are not in to Colin for whatever reason, my names is Ben Quinn and also think you are neat and be reached through Colin. If you dont think I am neat, good luck with things.

anything about grease stains on bib shorts? that has to count. also, what about being able to race a full collegiate A season safely and then crashing in a 3s circuit race?

Get a haircut before a big race to trim the weight (I have no idea who would do that)

Look down on other guys for not shaving their legs
