No kidding, just yesterday, I finished my ride and my wife asked "how was your" and stopped speaking. I asked "how was my what"? She said nothing...

I want to commend you for this video. It caused my wife to spit coffee out her nose while laughing at me laffing at you. For that I thank you. ❤️

Cycling is the greatest sport and if you disagree you are wrong

LOL... All the fun of cycling begins when you can ride at 30+kph constantly between traffic lights, for the thrilling; or when you can ride 3hr+ or 60 80 90 100 kms at a time so you can see your surrounding in a completely different view, for the experience; or when you can bike 20km or 30km without a sweat to commute and get around and you start to feeling that "I don't need a car", for the practicality, and the freedom. Not to mention the mountains, that's where all the true fun begins... Unfortunately for most general population it's something that's just too hard for them to experience. I always say the best friend for general population or beginner cyclist actually is a CAR. Take them directly to some iconic climbs or scenery routes, skip the 20/30/40km "warm up", then they can get the key idea of about what you are talking about, and if they like it, they might want to go faster next time or go further. I find most of times in this way people can get it, especially family members. Oh I forgot there's another thing called E-bike, I think that's also great in these scenarios.

Amen brother

I know they don't understand and don't care about it. But, I'm going to do it anyway. If I have to listen to them talk about things I don't like nor understand, they do too. And if you can't abuse your friends, who can you abuse? My closest friend is obsessed with mopeds, for god's sake! I'm talking to old school ones with pedals and two stroke motors. He has about 20 of them! So, he can listen to me talk about my last gravel race or the new crankset once in a while.

Haha- I really enjoyed the closing monologue 👍🏾😂 starting with « unless you won the thing, it went well »

This could be the most interesting and rewarding video of all time. I’m in tears

So true, no point talking about it to normal folks. Everyone that meets me nowadays questions me - "Are you still Cycling?" I just twist and respond - "Yeah, I still workout a little" mere mortals don't get the real feeling of being on a bike, wattabombing on a slope.. let them be.. !

Same goes for hearing about hunting trips & golf games from friends or co-workers, us Bikers could care less about that stuff. Like you hit a white ball around the field and had a few beers when finished, oooookkkkkaay........

I truly believe that, even considering that I am absolutely that annoying cycle-boy that constantly talks about cycling, that bros talking about their jiujitsu thing is absolutely the worst example of this phenomenon. My theory is that they catch some organic neurological parasite from a nasty mat that makes ‘em stoopid.

Honestly, this applies to any niche hobby or fandom that people get deeply into. You want to have someone else to talk about the thing that eats up your mindshare, but most people only want to engage at a surface level of not at all.

I’m from the uk which is football obsessed you can’t get away from it!!!

Aw buddy…. you had me laughing all the way to the reveal at the end… then I couldn’t stop grinning ☺️ Safe riding man 👍

great video and all so true

Superb.

Lmao, this is the greatest video the algorithm has gifted me in months!

Nothing but facts and... FACTS

Beautiful

very good

They're afraid of my vo2 max😂

I believe that nobody cares about my cycling ventures, the same way nobody cares about any other hobby except for the person speaking. But we can't just be quiet all the time.

I have the opposite problem. All my friends ride mountain bikes and it’s all anyone talks about.

To be fair, that goes for any activity.

What's with the jersey ?

This was too real

i like your cycling shirt, give the sauce of how to get it ?

I think one problem these days is that it's too easy to technologize your rides where any talk can turn to a dull recitation of zones and watts. That might interest your coach, sports physio, or DS if you have one. Anyone else will find it horridly dull. No one cares about your Strava. Now maybe if a ride had an interesting feature, the weather was spectacular one way or the other, or the scenery was interesting, normal folk can relate, but they aren't going to relate to physio stats unless they too are an endurance athlete, and even then it might be a stretch. I've never had the ick about the shaving. I did have an interesting talk with a lady about the relative difficulty of shaving around the chin as opposed to knees on lean legs. Conclusion: knees are way harder. I just think fuzzy legs sticking out of bibs look way unkempt. BTW: where did you find the funky jersey? Oops. Saw your answer to this later. Also saw the "F--- this. Let's Ride" socks and was reminded of this short by Phil Gaimon: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f61loZupsdTYqWw.html

2:37 “unless you won the thing…” sometimes I tell people I won when I didn’t if they ask how it went because as you said yourself, no one cares anyways.

lovely jersey! where did you get it from

Take my subscription 🎉

real

Nice video bro thanks!

Agreed. Cyclists shouldn't drone on and on about their cycling. That is why God invented Golf.

Hahaha this is a wonderful piece of poetry slam combined with hard facts

I beg to differ, but I'm also biking (but not to the point of shaving my legs ;-)

absolute gold!

Nice jersey! I often wondered what happened to my grandmother's donationed bedspread.

Perfect

😂

bomb outro

Freaking beautiful.

Love the Seinfeld vibes!

Best video ever.

I’m starting to think my friends don’t care

❤

That jersey scares me

It gets even worse if you ride fixed gear, fixed gear is basically the gateway to become a social outcast

yes but i don't care that they don't care 😋

Racing and watching taces can be utterly boring. No, it is boring. I have been bired shiftless IN races. But cycling is a beautiful thing. The fitness, speed, new places, bikepacking and Z1/2 pleasure rides are a blessing. But my apologies for talking about cycling…🙄

Only you should not talk about cycling. At least in this guise. Otherwise you're a great guy?

You should see my wife's eyes glaze over ,as she pretends to listen to the latest pro cycling news😂
