Shit Cycling Climbers Say
It’s been about a year and a half since the “Shit Cyclists Say” video went viral and spurned a bunch of similar type posts. My buddy, Ryan van Duzer was the star of the original video (which has had well over a million views) and it’s still the best of the bunch. It’s been long enough now for this idea to be somewhat cool again, so we’re creating a list of all the things road cycling climbers have to say. To make it more appealing, we’ve enlisted the support of Bike2Power and Knights of MoBay, and they’ll be giving away some great prizes to those who comes up with the best response. So tell us what kind of “Shit Road Climbers Say” by leaving it in the comments section below. Here’s a few that I came up with to start you off:
- I only do climbs rated as Hors Catégorie.
- Shut Up Jens.
- That’s a hill, not a climb.
- I call anything under 15%, downhill.
- I’ve done Col du Tourmalet 4 times….in one day.
Maybe we can get Duzer to record this for us once we get the list together.

If I can just make it to that treeline I’ll be halfway to the halfway point, which means I’m almost to the… dammit, it just keeps going!

I don’t sit down for just anyone you know.
