Cycling slang used from time to time.

Here are some you might hear most often on this Pholog.

Getting Dropped: Left behind, getting dusted.

Break or breakaway. n., v. a splitting of the field, where some riders race ahead, trying to avoid being reabsorbed by the larger and more aerodynamicly efficient peloton

Crank
v. to mash on the pedals as hard as you can, and then some. As in, "I cranked so hard on getting out of that little valley, but my tire spun out and I had to walk it." v. to hammer or sprint

male blindness
n. when a male rider watches a beautiful female ride over rough terrain and stares intensely at all the jiggling parts, making him too dizzy to see straight when it's his turn to ride the same terrain. Or just starring at pretty girls in the park.
