Not really the done thing.

Don't surrender your life to the momentum of mediocrity. Keep following your dreams and one day you will tick them off.

Chainring marks on calves is another classic.

Guilty of that... and on the wrong side too :blush:

Aaaaand claiming to be fit enough to take the fast route and then getting dropped and lost. Sheeesh, that Joe_Cogs guy has a lot to learn.
