A Bicycle Religion?

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I kinda like all the gods and faiths. Maybe I'll sorta practice them all! ;) :D

So we would have 4 gods and 3 faiths?

Gods
- The Carbon God
- The Steel God
- The Alimumun God
- The Titainum God

Faiths
- Campy
- Sram
- ShimanoThat's a great idea! http://planetsmilies.net/not-tagged-smiley-14327.gif ;)

Synthetic of course!:D

To answer the original question, it sounds about as valid a religion as Scientology. :rolleyes:

That being said, I follow the Shimano path and worship the Steel God (but only 'cause I can't afford the Carbon God's collection plate :D).

Nothing at all wrong with steel brother!;) :D

Atheist - Bicycles do not exist

Shimano is not a faith. It's a scam like Scientology.

Ask yourself, "What would Tom Cruise ride?" If you have any of that equipment then you have strayed from the true path.

Tom Cruise would ride one of these:

But he wouldn't have a seat on the seat post.......just lots o lube.

OWWWW!!!! That has got to hurt!:D

A guy I was riding with yesterday has a FD that is made from the parts of a Camp FD and a Shimano FD. So where does that sit in the religion?

He's a witch. Burn him.

as you know, witches float, since they are made of wood. Throw the person in water, deep water, if they float, kill them as they are a witch. If they drownd, they are not a witch since they didn't float and are therefore OK. See Monty Python for exact parameters.

The key parameter is that witches weigh the same as a duck.
And I also think if you worship the wrong God, I don't wanna talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

We took my kids, 10 and 8 at the time, to Spamalot, the people around us were freaking out when my kids knew most every line and would start laughing at scenes as soon as the curtain went up. On a Saturday night when there is nothing on TV, what do they want to watch? Disney? Something from Dreamworks? NO they want to watch Monty Python.

Well, I can relate, my 10 yr old son's teacher didn't really like that he was telling girls on the playground that he would "wave his private parts at their aunties" ... but the HG is still a staple in our DVD player :)

This is just so classic ...

I nearly wet myself seeing it in Spamalot too :)

My poor nephew -- his name as Eric, and since he was a little boy I have been calling him a "half a bee" -- another really funny MP skit ...Eric is now a pretty prominent collegiate bike racer... https://www.usacycling.org/results/?compid=206020 I was teasing him in the fall after the road racing the season -- "imagine what he could do if he was a whole bee !"
Silly, I know. He's old enough now I thik he just thinks I'm nuts.
