So true - we cyclists are nuts - but we love it - we choose the pain to live by ;) - dynamic, ride yourself or with others - ride out my door without starting my car - practical to cycle to work or store - slow rides to enjoy the scenery or fast to burn calories - great for thinking & removing the stress of a work day - low impact which can take one into their 90's - for developing countries a very cost-effective means of transport & survival - doesn't take up much space - easy to store - low ongoing costs - facets like these & more is how much cycling has to offer
I am triathlete and this is just as good as the ironman clip. Absolutely love this, as I continuously get stick for the amount of weightloss on an annual basis getting ready for race season, and my 4 bikes cost about the same as my wifes mommy van too (7 seater).......I also get a similar reaction whenever I talk to people that I do triathlons....
I'm a cyclist - I've raced on and off road, toured, worked in bike shops, I commute, I teach cycle skills to youngsters and guess what? I Also have a sense of humour! This is funny and is as good an explanation as I've heard!!
CX bike can be used as a gravel bike ;) Gotta have at least one hardcourt bike polo bike, BMX, hardtail mountain bike, full suspension MTB, mixte, track bike, randonner/touring bike, cruiser, gravity bike and a penny farthing for short trips to the shops.
I just want to save money on gas. Sure it might hurt at first, but once you get used to it it's a good way to do some light grocery shopping. Faster than walking, and WAY cheaper than driving every time you need to pick up something.
This cracks me the hell up! Everyone thinks I'm a weirdo because I have an expensive Cannondale road bike, a hybrid, and a retro cruiser, and recently sold a mountain bike... but no car!!! If I sold these bikes I'd probably be able to buy a car.
I refer to myself as a cyclist just so it's clear that I don't ride a motorcycle. But for me it's just transportation. "Can you believe how high gas is getting?" "I don't care." :) Bow drivers, BOW DOWN TO YOUR OIL TYCOON OVERLORDS! hahahaha.
Word bro. I'd rather support American bicycle companies, American "AeroTechDesigns" cycling clothes, German Continental cycling tires, Italian saddles & Shoes,,, than put one damned red American penny into an enemy oil wells in god damned terrorist hell... You can quote me on that Sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I completed my first century ride at 16 with a heavy steel road bike; crank was not the smoothest. An upgrade would be cool. However I believe its not all about being skinny but rather both having strong quads yet not excessive musculature and eating properly. I cycle because the vast majority of people do not, Its a form of staying fit for other sports such as soccer, a life style and a form of transportation.
Its true many people like buying bike stuff more than actual cycling. All the gear no idea. It happens in most sports. One of the reasons I swapped to running, less posers.
Does anyone recall seeing on like this where the guy wants a expensive bike like hers? I remember they were the same characters but sitting down. It's a reach I know.. but been trying to stumble upon that one again for years now
I love the video...BUT I would love it more if the cyclist was a little bit heavier. There are many amateur who share the same passion but are not as fit as the guy in the video. The passion for cycling has nothing to do with the weight of the rider :-)
@ih8allmosteveryone - Yea, I've seen those posers too. They come out on their uber expensive fear only on days when the weather is perfect, ride 20km in an hour and then talk about it for the next three hours at the local Starbucks.
@Dandy1ion - Sorry, can't help you out on the food bill. I haven't eaten for months, got to save for my next grossly expensive bike. On the up side, I've lost a lot of weight.
A funny thing is that in Denmark "cyklister/cyclists" are people who just ride on an everyday basis while "cykelryttere/bikeriders" are people who ride bikes for sport... Which basically makes almost ALL of of "cyclists"...
I tell people bike riders ride Harley Davidson's witch is why we are cyclists. Plus cyclists don't use air quotes when they say cyclist. This is very funny. Thanks.
Hey I wanna buy a bike but I dunno what type to get. Does a road bike hurt your back when you ride it for a while? My main aim is to lose weight so I want something to keep me motivated and comfortable. PLEASE HELP! =) x
6:40 "so let me get this straight to be a cyclist, it requires that you shut off the part of the brain that provides you with all your common sense" so so true
"Because they make my legs scream in agony while my heart beats so fast it feels like I'm going to have a heart attack" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Right everyone that doesn't cycle always says your crazy for spending that much money on a bicycle! But how much is their bar tab, dirt bike ( that they can only ride once in a while), wave runner, sports car, I can ride my bike anytime , any where
I find the term "Petter Pan Tights" somewhat offensive, because I am a cyclist. I'd rather be a cyclist than pay terrorists for fuel oil to fund terrorism. So when the next dirty bomb or (nuclear) EMP knocks out everything, cycles will rule the world. That day I will say "I told you so" and climb like there's no tomorrow, because I am a cycling freak.
you can develope more power through training and outrun a lighter cyclist with lesser pedaling power... i've dropped alot of cyclist being lighter or heavier than me just because my legs were more used to intense effort and had more power, and i knew how to control my gears according to what speed i wanted to reach
5:11 "My skin gets so thin, my veins look like the road map of France" HAHAHA

Absolutely brilliant! Next time someone asks what I do with my spare time, I'll just refer them here...
It's really funny, but in real life, people wouldn't talk to you for nearly that long about your crazy addiction called cycling ;)
haha! true. i see people glaze over after about 10 seconds. :)
"cyclists are skinnier than a heroine addict on a diet"
Lmao wow
A Nonymous I call bull. too many of them have beer gutsXD
Liz Huck this is true though I don't know how. I'm a month into my cycling season and lost 7lbs already of my winter fat
Not sprinters
this is the truth. Probably one of the funniest things I've ever watched
Now you need an aero road, a CX bike, a commuter bike, and climbing bike and a beater bike lol
+Jared Fontaine are you unfamiliar with the n+1 Rule? (n being the number of bikes you currently own)
CX bike can be used as a gravel bike ;)
Gotta have at least one hardcourt bike polo bike, BMX, hardtail mountain bike, full suspension MTB, mixte, track bike, randonner/touring bike, cruiser, gravity bike and a penny farthing for short trips to the shops.
Don't forget an e-bike so your non-cyclist family can keep up with you out on Saturday rides!
Endure pain while cycling may be the most important experience. Never thought of it before watching this video
I just want to save money on gas. Sure it might hurt at first, but once you get used to it it's a good way to do some light grocery shopping. Faster than walking, and WAY cheaper than driving every time you need to pick up something.
Does nobody get the dry humor? Must everything be laid out by bad actors. Do people have no imagination?
Awesome video, because I am a cyclist.
I never get tired of this one!
The best video I've ever watched!!
I am a cycling super freak,lol
not if we were on bikes... you would never catch me.
I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike...
I want to ride my BICYCLE! BICYCLE!
Only 10 grand? May I show you my new MTB? Roadies be crazy!
I am a "Cyclist", and I LOVE this video!!
This cracks me the hell up! Everyone thinks I'm a weirdo because I have an expensive Cannondale road bike, a hybrid, and a retro cruiser, and recently sold a mountain bike... but no car!!! If I sold these bikes I'd probably be able to buy a car.
I like conversations where people talk like normal people. So it's not trash talk. It's realistic and makes it funnier than it would be without.
Epic win! I need to find more, i remember the iphone cartoon one where the character keeps asking the person why they want it, freakin hilarious!
Funny as hell but honest truth to this humorous dialog between the two. Well done lol.
This is true lol.
"but usually you receive a cheap water bottle and t-shirt that I use to clean my bike" so true
I have a friend that is deaths and would absolutely love this- do you have a transcript or subtitles?? Please??
This is one of the most hilarious animations I've ever seen!
I've lost track of how many times I've had this conversation with the cylistically impaired. Funny and true.
As a cyclist, I love this!
I refer to myself as a cyclist just so it's clear that I don't ride a motorcycle. But for me it's just transportation. "Can you believe how high gas is getting?" "I don't care." :) Bow drivers, BOW DOWN TO YOUR OIL TYCOON OVERLORDS! hahahaha.

Karl Ruehs not one penny? oil is used to make bicycles.
Very helpful for my wife to understand that I am a cyclist.
I completed my first century ride at 16 with a heavy steel road bike; crank was not the smoothest. An upgrade would be cool. However I believe its not all about being skinny but rather both having strong quads yet not excessive musculature and eating properly. I cycle because the vast majority of people do not, Its a form of staying fit for other sports such as soccer, a life style and a form of transportation.
This gave me a chuckle. I agree with him.
This is just me talking to one of my friends. And he said has someone recorded our conversations.😂
Bloody excellent!!! Thanks- I am working towards being a cyclist
Hey, it's a good start, but like some comments here, should keep it short like 2-3 min ;-)
All too true.Any "cyclist" who complains can't handle the truth - my wife was it hysterics laughing at me.
That'll make me a 'bike rider' then! lol So funny! Liked!
I'm a "cyclist" and I'm not thinner then a heroine addict on a crash diet? My legs are fecking huge.....excellent :-)
I ride my road bike everyday and have crashed numerous times, one was a wipeout ending in the ER.
I'm not a cyclist, but as a competitive rower, this hits the nail right on the head hahaha
@RedheadDane - and given how many bikes there are in Denmark, you guys should know
Its true many people like buying bike stuff more than actual cycling. All the gear no idea. It happens in most sports. One of the reasons I swapped to running, less posers.
Does anyone recall seeing on like this where the guy wants a expensive bike like hers? I remember they were the same characters but sitting down. It's a reach I know.. but been trying to stumble upon that one again for years now
What a lovely celeste tie!
"rides to suffer and feel excruciating pain" it's so true . I hate hills but seek them out LOL
I just like pushing myself physically and mentally therefore I ride and the side affect of this? being fit and healthy!
we should all aspire to be this man
Shit. I think she's RIGHT...we're e'ffing NUTS...might sell my bikes!
J Just J Give them to me...
"I mean this in the nicest way .. but you are f...ing nuts!" love it
i only downhill mountian bike. my bike is about 3-4 Grand. mountian opens in 3 days cant wait!!
Never gets old...
I am down to to 200 from 250 and am still looking to 190, but I hear regular complaints that I'm too thin as it is. I can relate.
I love the video...BUT I would love it more if the cyclist was a little bit heavier. There are many amateur who share the same passion but are not as fit as the guy in the video. The passion for cycling has nothing to do with the weight of the rider :-)
Yes it does. Body mass is inversely proportional to cycling passion
@ih8allmosteveryone - Yea, I've seen those posers too. They come out on their uber expensive fear only on days when the weather is perfect, ride 20km in an hour and then talk about it for the next three hours at the local Starbucks.
I jump out of airplanes...lol..Awesome video man!
Gold!!! And I too am a "cyclist"
I fucking love this video.
It's bizarre, but suffering up a big hill and screaming down the other side at high speeds is fun. I think it's the endorphin rush and I'm nuts!
@Dandy1ion - Sorry, can't help you out on the food bill. I haven't eaten for months, got to save for my next grossly expensive bike. On the up side, I've lost a lot of weight.

Which basically makes almost ALL of of "cyclists"...
i just had this conversation with 3 of my co workers omg....they think i'm crazy.
@OtherVincentLee - I'm sure they don't, however, used cars do.
@3:52 you know, that's a damn good question.
I tell people bike riders ride Harley Davidson's witch is why we are cyclists. Plus cyclists don't use air quotes when they say cyclist. This is very funny. Thanks.
I love the air quotes! :D
I own three bicycles and I am not a cyclist. Merely a cycling enthusiast.
Outstanding! :-)
Hey I wanna buy a bike but I dunno what type to get. Does a road bike hurt your back when you ride it for a while? My main aim is to lose weight so I want something to keep me motivated and comfortable. PLEASE HELP! =) x
i've really enjoyed the conversation...
@LDAarch - oh sh*t, I'll clean it up the next time.
love it,,,,
6:40 "so let me get this straight to be a cyclist, it requires that you shut off the part of the brain that provides you with all your common sense"
so so true
I'm a cyclist. The furthest I have gone in one day is about 28 miles, or 44kms.
This is great!!
I mean this in the nicest way... but you are fucking nuts! Absolutely love that part :P
"Because they make my legs scream in agony while my heart beats so fast it feels like I'm going to have a heart attack" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
This explains it perfectly!!
Pure epicness!
Right everyone that doesn't cycle always says your crazy for spending that much money on a bicycle!
But how much is their bar tab, dirt bike ( that they can only ride once in a while), wave runner, sports car, I can ride my bike anytime , any where
106kph! I've only done 50 kph and thought I was going to die.
only three bikes for a pro racer?????
@aayevents - that's the point. We're all nuts.
@wiwatchang - I need an editor to trim the fat.
He is " a cyclist" and would be welcome in our club.
My uncle is a cyclist, this is 100% accurate.
Good job
punch line would have been a lot funnier if you had left it at "I jump out of airplanes"
I find the term "Petter Pan Tights" somewhat offensive, because I am a cyclist.
I'd rather be a cyclist than pay terrorists for fuel oil to fund terrorism.
So when the next dirty bomb or (nuclear) EMP knocks out everything, cycles will rule the world.
That day I will say "I told you so" and climb like there's no tomorrow, because I am a cycling freak.
I'm with her except for the last sentence!
Fun to watch! (so true)
how do u post a COment without mentioning that i am a "cyclist"
Not sure about the throwing up part but the rest of it I can say was funny.
those two should get oscars for best actor and actress
I LOVE THIS!
This is hysterical.😂😂
you can develope more power through training and outrun a lighter cyclist with lesser pedaling power... i've dropped alot of cyclist being lighter or heavier than me just because my legs were more used to intense effort and had more power, and i knew how to control my gears according to what speed i wanted to reach
@RAYPBCHZ - I should have hired an editor
..not IF we were on bikes. Brilliant
Hilarious, I love being a nutjob.
