After the viral success of Shit Mountain Bikers Say, it was only a matter of time, eh.
Take out your notepad. Add a bonus point if it's a Rapha notepad. Then give yourself a mark for each of the things in the video that you've said with your own mouth… post your score below!
Also head to www.peopleforbikes.org – they're the people that put the vid together and they're trying to get a million people signed up to support a better future for cycling in America. Looks like they're only looking for US-based road.cc readers to sign, if that's you then get signing!

Seven, including blowing snot from my nostrils while riding … 😀 Does blowing snot from both nostrils count as two? If so, make it eight! 😀

6 but i counted washing my mouth out with a drink rather than spitting it out because i didn’t like it. Built for downhill rather than climbing.

Four. “Don’t talk about the Tour today / today’s stage”, “Is that carbon”, and spitting. Low score because I’ve never raced or ridden with racing cyclists, I guess.
Also good to see Greg Rusedski on a bike.
Brilliant!
Brilliant!
not too many thankfully
not too many thankfully though I did once sulk all afternoon at work after someone told me Cav had fallen and broken his collarbone in the tour (“don’t tell me about todays stage man!”). I was even more annoyed when I got home to find it was actually Wiggins and I’d had my afternoon incorrectly spoilt.
Oh Man…

Oh Man…
I must be bad I lost count after 25 😀

But then I’m not a proper cyclist.
Although I do say “you could lift his bike with 1 finger” quite a lot!

Errr,
I am guilty of the snot rocket (only when cycling/running, and never in polite society), does muttering it to yourself on a solo ride count? If so then:
Man this head wind sucks (or words to that effect)
also the bike weight arms race im currently engaging in with my boss/occasional training partner
Gulp! I lost count

Two including the snot
Two including the snot rocket. In my defence I only used “car back” in a US sportive.
Without a lie – just the one
Without a lie – just the one about losing weight to ride. It’s very American. No one I know says ‘suck’ just as I’d be queasy if anyone called me ‘buddy’. I don’t say ‘suck’. I’m not interested in carbon and I don’t snot rocket – of it would end up down me. We need a British version of this which could instead include these from older club members I know. Imagine these in a Lancashire accent:
“All well and good but try doing that with a number on your back…”
“Your saddles too high/ too low / too far forward / too far back.”
“That’s not steel it’ s aluminium.”
(clack of wheel magnet sticking to top tube)
“…..Mmmm.. It might be steel…”
“Get on the rivet!”
10 miles into a short fast training run. “Can we stop for a coffee?”
“Get on my wheel”
“I’ve been doing two hours a night on the turbo in the kitchen”
“Put your chamois cream on before your deep heat”
“Aye, aye. Here they come -The Big Hitters!”
“What’s ‘Ti’ stand for? Tin?”
“I don’t use factory built wheels”
“I’ve did the the Tourmalet when I was your age. But I was on a 42/23…”
” Is that an original Eddy Merckx frame? They made two sorts: a good one and a crap one…..You’ve got the crap one.”

Thanks MercuryOne, I really enjoyed that!
Bloody hell MercuryOne,
Bloody hell MercuryOne, you’ve nailed my father there. Only when he rode the Tourmalet, he was riding his old fixed gear TT bike – proper British steel that was, and it was 54/12, and the hill used to be about 25%.
Hmm four at most, thank

Apart from “Do you have any
Apart from “Do you have any money I can borrow?”, I can honestly say I’ve never said a single one of those things. My bike probably weighs 50lbs with all the junk I have attached to it, and it’s all steel. My ‘sprinting speed’ is about 10mph, LOL.

Just one ‘I’m not a climber’
Just one ‘I’m not a climber’ (though I’m not a sprinter either). Though I do clear my nose if there’s no-one around (and carry a hanky as well if there is!) The problem is that I always cycle alone so don’t have anyone to talk to. Everyone ‘aaaahhh’….

No.. ok then.

The video was hilarious! I
The video was hilarious! I counted and saw myself doing 6 of those. I can’t believe I did so many of those stereotypical things without me noticing. I hope they can do more of such videos. I am sure there are more things that we cyclists do that they have not featured.
