I was about to say you’ve got brake vs break incorrect, but then I realized that the ones in the parenthesis are the incorrect words.

The crazy thing about that CL listing was that the guy was actually a car guy but not only couldn’t be bothered to spell Integra and it wasn’t even an Integra anyway it was a 2.2CL. He was just an older guy that couldn’t be bothered with figuring out autocorrect or how CL worked.

For bicycles it’s Pedal and Brake. They are forever peddling and using their breaks.

They also have no idea what the parts of their bikes are called. Oh, and they have no idea why clipless pedals don’t have clips when they clearly “clip in” when they are wearing their fancy shoes. (These are actually cleats and they are “clicking in,” but they don’t know the difference).

whole can of worms there, been lectured by my bike mechanic friend. The main difference is that bicycle guys will not suffer a peice of shit, some of us car guys consider maintaining a piece of shit to be an honour. A car is a car, but if it don’t meet bike-guy’s standards, a bike is a “bicycle shaped object.”

Bicycle guys take their children’s toys too seriously. My uncle’s one of them. Spent more on fancy bike tires than my slicks cost and they’re way thinner.

I’ll give them some slack on the whole clip/clipless thing since it is obviously dumb and unintuitive.

For bikes, derailleur is such a pain in the as to spell that derailer has become increasingly common, though opinions vary on its legitimacy.

Not true! There are cyclists, “elite” racer wannabes, and then there are bike riders. The first and the last will gladly ride what the elitists would scoff at. Only the last would suffer the trials and tribulations of a bicycle-shaped object from Walmart.

In my stable is a 41-yr-old Schwinn, a 20-yr-old Cannondale, and a 10-yr-old Redline. None of them pass the elitist minimum criteria simply because of their age, but all of them were state of the art when they were new.

He’s right - for a five year old and as long as it isn’t left outside. Those things rust faster than a Bronco in Maine.

there are also 52-year olds, riding a bmx with a 2-4, (large case of Canadian Beer)and a lit cigarette. these are not cyclists, they are former cutlass drivers.

The cutlass owner stereotype predates autocorrect. I know I’m rough on the cutlass owners, but y’know, fuck em. They cutlass owners.

I fall into category 3 but would not suffer a walmart huffy. Currently have a electra townie with a 3 speed hub and a groovy banana seat. But I’ll need to get something speedier.

Is there an european joke pertaining to Citroen being one letter and an accent circumflex awqay from being citron/lemon? I remember a French-Canadian song called “mes voitures” made the joke, don’t know if it was funny.

As a former Cutlass owner, I second this motion.

Not to my knowledge. As it happens Citroën came from the Dutch name Limoenman (lime man, from a seller of limes). This became Citroen (Dutch for lemon) and later gained the ë.

That would depend on which country and language you’re talking about! It’s not a word I normally hear in a car context.

ICYMI this was is the mythical Integrated. Friend bought it in October for the full $1900 asking price. Been pretty solid. The ignition switch contacts wore out so right now it needs to be hot wired, but it is running strong.

Oh I remember it, I saw “Acura Integrated” and it gave me the idea for the picture I made.

It’s hard to screw up a single-speed. They usually manage to do it by using cheap metal for the chain and fasteners. This is evident after the bike is left in the rain. Most bike riders don’t know any better because they’ve never owned a bike that doesn’t rust.
