Great one-liners

I read this article in Mountain Bike Action magazine and thought I should share a few of the great one liners…

• How come a rider will spend hundreds of dollars to shave a few ounces off a bike and then eat an entire pizza while watching TV (And drinking beer)?
• Why are they called clipless pedals when you have to clip in to use them?
• How come 198 grams sounds lighter than seven ounces, but 453.59 grams sounds heavier than one pound?
• How come all cross-country bikes don’t use wide bars like the ones single-speed riders use?
• Why are there more climbs than downhills on every ride?
• Why do energy bars have to taste like that?
• How come component makers publish weights in grams and bike makers list their weight in pounds?
• How come it takes forever to get into riding shape, yet only a week to lose everything you gained?
• Why are there production mountain bikes that sell for $7,000.00?
• How come a 20-mile “easy ride” always ends up being 16 miles of hammering?
• How come you feel so grumpy when you fall, but laugh uncontrollably when a riding partner gets pitched?
• Home come they don’t make a great-grandma gear for really steep hills?
• If you consumed ten supplements that claim to deliver a ten percent boost in performance, would you be 100 percent faster than you are now?
• Why doesn’t everyone mountain bike?
