Re: Spandex issues...
Start a cycling club at a middle school in ky? well then ya dont know the people in ky. It would just be gay. You get what Im sayin? I mean middle schoolers are the worst, but middle schoolers in ky! there the worst of the worst! Like, I get made fun of bcuz I have a pic. of eddy merckx in my locker. They always say "you do realize that haveing pics of grown men in sapndex in your locker is gay right?" I guess all I can do is just shake my head, I hate being a Blue in a Red state. Maybe in high school, I think high school will be a lot more interesting for me.

Re: Spandex issues...
My highschool has a rowing team, and spandex shorts are mandatory in order to row. There's some jokes and insecurity about it at first, but after the first week of practice, the new people usually get over it. The only people that have seen me while I was cycling are the same ones that are on crew, so they dont really mind.
I cant say that much about the rest of the school though. Some people are just naturally mean spirited I guess. |

Re: Spandex issues...
I don't really care what people think I wear head phones most of the time. but anyway it makes me feel free of inhibitions and proud of the way i look. Iwear shiny black spandex and wear them extra tight so they don't slowly fall down. I am a guy and when women look at me they smile. It's great be part of the same group of spandex lovers

[QUOTE=rayner]Think about it mate...
Also why do you have a picture of the cannibal in your locker, I realise you're proud of what you do but thats asking for it a bit isn't it?[/QUOTE Not only am I "proud" of what i do, It has almost become a way of life. I go to sleep reading nashbar and performance, velo news, several other bike mags. I spend god knows what on new bar tape, cliff bars, performance enhanceing drinks, energy gell, clothes, all kinds of stuff every month. from spring to fall i ride, sometimes 150 miles a week. I am obsessed with keeping my bike perfect. I have spent too many hours just waxing the damm thing! My favorite month of the year is july! I even shave my legs, even if it doesnt make much of diff. I do it any way. One of my favorite books is "the rider" by timm krabe` and probably one of the greatest films ever made id breaking away. You see, It is a passion for me, and if I want to put up a pic. of my hero in my locker by dammit im gona do it! I dont care what any one says! I just cant put it into words, you get what im sayin? |

Re: Spandex issues...
Don't get me wrong I've got nothing against the picture in the locker etc. It just seemed that you were worried about what other people thought of you and that the picture was escalating the problem.
Sorry if I'm coming accross as a bit thick but being in middle school would make you how old? If its between about 12 and 14/5 you're gunna cop some shit regardless. If high school is like college here 16/7/8 then you'll have a lot better time of it. In high school (middle for you?) kids get hung up about their own insecurities and need someone to target that'll make people look past these insecurities. In other words the kids who are bagging the shit out of you are jealous of something that you've got. Just a coupla little things that might interest you: cyclingnews.com a site you might know about but great for keeping up with everything. Also if you like your magazines http://www.ridemedia.com.au/ might be of interest to you. Would probably be expensive to get to america but is by far the best in the world that I have seen so far. 4 times a year and the last issue was around 200 pages. Keep up the riding and sorry if I came acrros a bit unsympathetic I just saw the picture in the locker thing as asking for a bit of trouble that you didn't need to put up with. |

Your so right, and usualy people dont get on to me about it. But they do sometimes and all I can do is shake my head. you see, here in ky, every thing sucks. I mean It's pretty here but the people just suck! they are rude, stupid, close minded, simple minded, anti gay I could go on and on [what we like to call in the states, rednecks] and just recently, the 51% not to generalize that the 51% is that bad, but the ones in kentucky are. And im 14  |

Re: Spandex issues...
Yeh Ride is a wicked mag! i think you can get it in the US, there was a letter in the july issue from someguy in the US ....he said his local shop sold Ride mag.
Bicycling Australia is pretty good too, i just got the new issue! Are there many cyclist-hatin'-no-good-dirty-rotton-pig-stealin'-fat-truckin-rednecks around in Kentucky??? |
