1. Fresh bar tape in bright hues, or white
If you do one pro-thing for your Cat 3 self...if you cant keep it clean...run black...pure and simple..waste of time and money..

2. Stars and Stripe Jersey
unless you earned it..or were in the military

3.Big wide meaty or super soft gravel tires
when you never leave concrete..its not faster just more comfy and slower

4. Skinsuits
not with a body fat higher than...9%

5. 9K rigs
unless you can keep that shit spotless..you look like a slob

6. Talkin Shit about another dudes rides
unless you can back it up..and beat that dudes ass..STFU..stop..makes you look like you have a small semi hard dick

7. Posting about wattage numbers.
Its meaningless and makes you  like your gloating..equate it to talking about your gross income or weekly wages...no one cares, more directly it’s the same as talking about dick size to a room full of dudes..

8. White jerseys...
NEVER before Memorial day..unless your a pro..

9. Expensive over priced ridiculous WWF eye-wear..
Unless your winning handily ..your not The Ultimate warrior..your a poser

10.Man Buns..

11. Time Trial Bikes..with lousy fit
why?..just why? your not going fast ..your just uncomfortably and going slow

12. Bags mounted all over your gravel bikes for 30 mile jaunts
If it takes you all day and you need to pack the whole Park tool catalog, along with the entire Clif bar menu..and three meals from Applebees..maybe its time to seek a new hobby

13. Phart Bikes on pavement

14. Suspension Forks on Gravel Bikes
Call me an old curmudgeon..but isn't part of the experience\ feeling the gravel?
you want smooth roads..ride the pavement

15. Social media political views..
Plot twist NO ONE cares..go find some other platform to be a prick and pick a fight on..
