So I found out that I am a pedal masher when it comes to cycling. I had been called it before but didn't really understand what it meant. The person who told me this made it have a negative connotation.
I found out what it was and I took it as a compliment. Basically it means that you like to ride in heavy gears and like to kill yourself and your legs. You care more about speed than efficiency and ride more like a triathlete than a cyclist.
I agree that I kill my legs when I ride and my legs agree too. But now I take pedal masher with pride. It means that I really workout my legs.
What's also interesting is that the road that I ride the most on, Route 119 between Massachusetts and New Hampshire, has headwinds going in both directions. It always felt like that to me, but it also made no sense to me. How could you go on the same road and be fighting the wind in both directions? Made no sense to me. I found out it's true though. So I'm always biking into the wind.
