Certain terms in mountain biking could be considered as an innuendo by a person that might be walking by while you and your buddies are talking shop.
For example…
“Oh I like the 5 inches…”
“I thought it was going to be bigger, but when I say on it, it felt just right”
“I’ve got 7 inches in the rear…”
“I like them wider(tires)”
“Don’t forget to wear your knee pads”
“Don’t forget to wear your elbow pads”
“Make sure you wear protection…”
“Oooh I like how its black!”
“Wow, that’s nice!”
“I have 8 inches on the front”
“When you go down, make sure you get a good grip…”
“My butt hurts”
Ok get your mind out of the gutter you perv…if you look at all of those, they are all valid terms. Yes, even the “my butt hurts” because my butt does hurt if I don’t wear cycling shorts…But just a word of caution, if someone that doesn’t know anything about mountain biking hears your conversations, then they might give you the stink eye.

Show CommentsWhen riding in a group, someone will inevitably say, “I’ll take up the rear.”
lol. Those innuendos always get me in trouble!!!
you should have heard the things shouted across the computer lab when our class had an assignment to design a bike using a computer modelling program.
‘How thick is your shaft?’
‘How many holes have you got?’
‘How big’s your rim?’
And the best one, I literally shouted this across a crowded room to my pal after trying to model the head tube: ‘Ross, how did you get your hole?’
or
“I guess I’ve been a good mom this year because the hubby brought me home a shiny new toy to play with.”
lol Moe! You see!!! Always getting myself into trouble…hahahaha
Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself.
