MOST annoying thing when on the bike is...

[oldrider]

Hey Stirtsie, did you enjoy our ride today?

[wysper]

Forgetting to do your chin strap up and down the road you get the smackitty-smackitty effect and go :slap:

Yeah that is a PIA, and then you get the vaguely disconcerting feeling that your helmet may infact get ripped off by the wind... and you are mentally tossing up whether you can make it home or to your next stop of if you should stop for the few seconds it will take to fasten your helmet!

I also hate getting hit by birds, the one in the neck was very painful.

after cleaning visor at last stop then five minutes down the road the biggest green bug committs hara currie dead centre on it, so firstly you cannot see then you start too go crosseyeid!

Being in the middle of nowhere and needing a crap

[wysper]

oh and stock trucks that think it is ok to dump effluent all over the road....

Going for a nice long day ride and ending up with a tinted visor and dark sunnies... at night.

Haha excellent.Forgive I don't have the time to read through all the pages however...I agree completely with all yours Stirts - thank god it ain't just me! So having a few wines and ready to consider the question!

Most annoying things for me include

• 1 ear plug not completely sealed in ear canal...produces horrid buffetting and crashing in eardrum at speed.
• Riding on really cold days with a goobie runny nose and not being able to take the time to shove glove up there to clear goobies away...do ya let them drip and drape your upper lip or do ya do the quick suck
• Wet bellybutton (weirdly that's all) from leak in front of riding jacket
• My hair clanging around against my back coming from the bottom of my helmet, or inside my visor messing with my eyes and itching my face
• And sadly also - knowing I have to come home from my ride to do some 'job' - days off are never complete days off for some grown ups
• OH yeah and dumb fuckwit drivers that are out to kill and generally annoy us all!

[Number One]

On a cold morning ride, having snot run out your nose and get all over the inside of the helmet and into your neck tube...

Oh you need to do the quick suck - that way you get rid of it really...doncha?

W I N D !

Or do you mean the other type of wind? The wind that causes you to lift your bum bum off the seat or to the side to let out and then shake the smell down to your boots wind?

See, now you've confuzzled me. I don't know what I mean...

BOTH!

Farting and following through

Farting and following through

on the positive side at least things are warm for a wee while! Kind of like a high tech gel maybe?!!

But yeah the whole ablutions issue, that can be annoying. You have a drink at a stop and it comes flying through at the most inopportune time, you break for a relieve & its the start of a whole series of small squirt stops along the route!
I'm considering fabricating something out of one of those rubber shower onto tap attachments into possible a used wine bladder? Only thing is the head attachment will need to be of a "large" size (reminds me of a Jasper Carrott comedy sketch???!!!).
