    -Getting your bike stolen, then finding it and having to buy it back from the guy because you dont have any proof it is indeed yours.
    (true story)
  5.  
    Leaving your bike locked up over the weekend at school, coming back to find the frame wrapped halfway around a metal support bar.
    Ten years later, I STILL don't lock my bike to anything at ground level.
  7.  
    Headsets that always come loose (you know those ones)

    Riding both a fixed gear and a road bike, and forgetting you can't coast through corners on the fixed gear

    How expensive strip clubs can get

    Old people who don't understand why *insert new bicycle feature here* is better than the *insert an outdated bicycle feature here* on their 1971 Motobecane

    People who give you shit because all the stuff in your shop is made in Asia. So is everything else, and if it wasn't, the toolings probably were, and the steel to make those toolings, etc. etc.

    Meh, bad day, good to vent

    -Leaving your house with prescription sunglasses, staying out longer than expected, and then riding home in the dark with no glasses or headlight.

    -Tubes blowing out because you put your bike in a car that got up to 130 degrees

    -People who breathe hard and bounce out of their seats passing you in the bike lane and then promptly turn onto a residential street because they just blew their wad

    having an icecream cone with one of your friends, then wiping out
    in the street in front of a subaru, filled with women
    at 8:30pm, then not recovering your ice cream.
    Now that sucks.

    -Former roomates who think your $2200 roadbike looks like an 8-ball.
    -Running over (or should I say hitting?) a jack rabbit at about 30km/hr. I hope you will pardon my lack of compassion for the poor bunny, but my back still looks like beef jerky.

    Got you beat, RE. I'm guilty on all four counts.

    As my Music Department advisor asked me two weeks before I graduated, 25 years ago: "So, what are you going to do now - scoop ice cream?"

    Yep, pretty much.

    Working for 2 months straight, over 100 hours a week, on a $300K project and watching a salesman who did absolutely nothing on it receive a $20K commission check.

    Yeah, I'm a little bitter at the moment.....

    Not getting the profile hubs you won on Ebay because the seller wants to cancel transaction, probably because the bidding didn't go as high as they expected

    Running into anything with a bike, like a giant cement wall.

    Eating shit. I'm sure that would fuckin' suck.

    Are you still in Eugene? My friend was there a few weeks ago and she said it was looking pretty bad economically. At least since youre not out working you dont need childcare so you are only 50% as bad off as it appears. I'm not sure how much sense I'm trying to be positive.

    But are you happier as a person not working that job?? IF so, then that is all that matters!! That is what Im doing, going from a 50k sometimes plus job with no degree to nothing, but I am alot happier than what I was doing...

    long story, but no, I didn't like the job.

    Then the best thing to do is leave..

    Also what sucks, is doing a moonlight ride in downtown st. louis for charity, supposed to be a cruise ride, then you get knocked over by racer ron doing 25mph like an idiot!!!

    Haha tell me about it brother! My son just finally got all of his teeth in so there's peace to be had at night for a while. Good god them were some sleepless months though.

    He's never been bothered by cutting teeth before, even when he got four incisors at once. This shit threw me for a loop.

    Dude it's them molars, they must hurt like shit comin through. My kid was the same way. Barely shrugged at the rest of his teeth coming in but as soon as the molars punched he was unhappy. Frozen blueberries were the best thing for that. Kid loved eaten 'em and they numbed the right spots.

    Wow I feel like a nerd now.

    How about humping yer a$$ off for 20 years in the military just to start everything over fresh at 40 years old with the same bills and having to commute 140 miles a day to make ends meet. Then putting two kids through college and weddings... Like Johnny Cash said .. "I can't die cuz I owe my soul to the company store"
  46.  
    You are in a hurry and you are adjusting your chain length and you pop the pin out and it is damn hard putting the pin back in then you lose it and you gotta take another chain and replace and break that apart and putting it on the other chain then measure again and bjflngsidhgbjlszflkvbsjlzdfvsfjxl

    That's a long sentence.

    It sucked last night when I was adjusting my King top cap and it broke. As if I needed another reason to sell my only, mostly unused mountain bike.

    Johnny Cash? Nuh-uh; Merle Travis and Tennessee Ernie Ford.

    Johnny Cash had a much cooler line: "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die..."
