Do you ever go up MASSIVE steep hills with no hands just to take the piss?

[MrMarzocchi]

I do

 

[Tubby G]

I do

I do find ‘no handed’ riding much easier on an eeb, especially on an ascent, so great idea ?

 

[ShinySideUp]

I haven't but I might try it now you mention it

 

[maynard]

Who doesn't!

 

[Spaceballz]

I prefer to stop when I take the piss

 

[RustyIron]

I tried taking a piss with no hands, but it got all over my shoes,
and for the next hour I made squishy sounds wherever I'd walk.

 

[The Hodge]

No

 

[ilostmypassword]

Totally

 

[Tonybro]

No, in case the bike hits something, I come off and look a right tit! (Why do people always look like a right tit, never the left?)

 

[IanCran76]

I struggle with both hands on the bars never mind taking them off lol

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

only if im going past folk on clockwork bikes but then ill ensure I get my phone out as well to tinker on as I go past

 

[ilostmypassword]

I had a bunch of guys on CX bikes kind of run parallel with me my last ride as I hit the trails, they hit the roads. On the biggest climb on the road when I caught them up, I steamed past with the fittest guy hanging onto my rear tyre. I dropped him eventually like a stone rocking out to Radiohead on my AirPods.

Mission accomplished

 

[04fuxake]

No.

 

[Another One]

Ditto

 

[Daev]

I don't even bother with the bike sometimes.... and you know Tom Cruises rock climbing scene at the beginning of MI 2,?...taught him everything he knows

I usually zip past analogue bikers, but occasionally I get a superfit dude who hears the motor whine, and starts speeding up, I can feel the rage coming off them. I sometimes like to hang behind them for a minute or so, just to watch them suffer. It's not big and It's not clever, but it's funny.

 

[KnollyBro]

Is it just me or does it make sense why riders on analogue bikes, hikers, walkers etc. look at people on emtbs with such condemnation?

 

[Daev]

This is getting to be like us vs them / cyclists vs car drivers / pedestrians vs cyclists / pedestrians vs car drivers etc etc.
Don't know about everyone else but i've been a pedestrian for the longest time, a cycle for nearly as long, a motorcyclist for a good while and a car driver for almost as long. ( All so far years n years, nay, decades).
Last year i got an emtb and i'm enjoying that as much as all the other sh!t i've been doing for years .
Ah, i also swim. Don't get me started on surfers, paddle boarders and especcccccially jet skiers.

Correct me if I am wrong, but what I think I am hearing you say is that there are a$$holes in all walks of life and in every sport. Try not to be THAT a$$hole who ruins it for everyone else? Around here, I would like to say we (mtb'rs) try to be courteous and pleasant to everyone who uses the trail system but there will always be those who don't like to share. Why give them ammunition by being an a$$hole blasting by someone who is "enjoying" their time riding, hiking etc. I personally don't like Stav'holes who come up behind me yelling "RIDER" like they are in a race. I try not to let it affect my ride and I pull over and let them pass when its safe to do so. I have had a few riders yell at me for not yeilding immediately. I just point at my LOCAL TRAIL buidling donation sticker and politely ask them if they own, help maintain or donate to the trails they use. The answer is usually no. Who is the a$$hole now?

Haha. I've had people overtake me on purpose with a kind of "I'll show him attitude" and I'm like 'OK, I'm not gonna race this guy, but I'm gonna keep pace with him' I find out that they blown their load early, I overtake them an they're never seen again
