Subject: Funny names for "Jersey" riders?
|
I need a collection of funny names for the guys that ride in team
colors, the most extreme of which actually coordinate with their bikes
and each other (although I'm suuuuuure, they're actually professional
TDF riders on Holiday).
Give me your best, I need some funny stuff to think of as I am meeting
these folks on the roadway and they refuse to wave because I am
clearly out of step in both fashion and bike gear!

When I was shaving yesterday morning I really looked at myself in the mirror
and I was overcome by my own magnificence. I think I must be a God come down
to earth. But I am not a kindly and merciful God. Nay, I am a vengeful God
right out of the Old Testament who means to whip your sorry asses!

It is off topic as it is a discussion of insults to use on random
people you don't know!

Good point. So I can make it on-topic simply by applying it to people
here who belong to Team Spandex. So, for example, if I note that a
poster named Piled Higher is apparently a "ridiculous fruit flavored
corporate clown in stretchy panties" then it's back on topic!

True. Yet football jerseys tend to have the name of the player on it.
Does that make up for the lack of matching pants?

Of course, to be fair, you'll need to apply the same insults to 270lb
guys who wear football jerseys at the mall.

Yeah, that one's useful. I can use it when I meet one (or four they
usually move in flocks) of these guys at a traffic light. Then I'll
duck.
The football jersey is one. Another fave is the women who wear stretch
pants or spandex of some sort. I think that less than 2% of the women
in stretch pants should be legally allowed to wear them.

Of the sixty some odd people who went together to the Guangzhou Bikers
Festival from Hainan, more than 50 of us had the same pink and white
polka dot jersey with the club name written on the back. But some of
them didn't. Some of them had either a plain blue or a plain red
jersey with the club name written on the back. This is because the
same pink and white polka dots (minus club name) were given to the 16
riders who participated in opening ceremonies of the Tour of Hainan
and those 16 riders are among the serious who have many jerseys and
when you have made it to being the kind of person who owns nine
jerseys you don't want two of them to be basically identical.
Three of the best of the young racer boys were among these 16 and,
quite by coincidence, had all ended up with plain blue jerseys. In
light of Chinese history it was determined that they were The Blue
Gang. Myself and another polka dot that hung out with them became
honorary members of the Blue Gang and we got as far as discussing
secret handshakes and initiation ceremonies before the giggling got so
bad that someone fell out of his chair.
I do think that 'looking the part' whether as a cyclist or a computer
programmer or a theatre major does tend to make other people of that
in group automatically treat you more nicely as a member of the same
in group.

I have not liked most movies with Tom Hanks. I like
"Bachelor Party" [1984], and "Joe Versus the Volcano"
[1990]. The latter may be vastly overlooked or
under-rated. Anyway, in the latter movie Joe is in
full safari kit looking awkward, painfully awkward.
Patricia Graynamore laughs cruely at him and says
"Those clothes are wearing you." So when you get into
your kit, jacket and tie, or riding shorts, or studded
leather, ...; know who is wearing whom.

Clearly you don't understand the meaning of "troll" (or you belong to
Team Spandex and I've offended you).
This is on topic since the choice of clothes is a technical matter
affecting chafing, aerodynamics, etc. We're simply developing the
technical jargon necessary so that we can discuss things like the
effect of "ridiculous fruit flavored corporate clown in stretchy
panties" type of clothing on performance.

I wear my club jerseys and shorts many days, and I wear CSC kit, and I
wear jerseys I've found over the years that I like. However, I say "Hi"
to the riders I encounter on the road or bike trails.
I did an organized ride (the Los Angeles River Ride) a couple of months
ago with three friends, and we all wore our club jerseys, so we could
find each other among the multitudes. As we were nearing the end of the
ride, I heard someone call us "a bike gang".
I don't think clothing is the determining factor in rider friendliness.

True but wearing team kit is the determining factor in being a dweeb.

are very obviously not dweebs.

Proving the point! Team kit is for dweebs!
I think I have a new term for them: "Team Dweeb"

Some of my buddies in Seattle call them "plum smugglers".
