Don't have a gap between your bibs and jersey or you will be made fun of and get sunburnt Don't wear a cycling hat when you are not within 10 feet of your bike Don't get bike grease on your arm Don't hit railroad tracks at an angle Don't take it serious or it won't be fun and than you will suck

Falling numerous times when I first tried to clip into my bike Starting my first race without my chain on Getting bike grease everywhere Falling when I tried to jump a curve and doing a frontflip

Telling people I am a cyclist
