When I open the fridge and think.... "Damnit, all i have available to drink is this clean, uncontaminated water"

True.

This is attitude particularly relevant when frustrated about performing poorly in training or a race. It is an incredible privilege to simply be able to think clearly and move properly and it is easy to forget that.

The meat and vedge get squashed when i am in a full aero tuck descending..
More frontal volume / stratech please Assos....

"Dammit, I am a dealer for Dimond bikes but I cant afford one for myself!!! wahhhhhh!!!"

My disc isn't even toroidal.

port a pots or any effort at sanitation

I guess that would include a body of water without a significant coliform count

what color should I go for on my new zipp decals?
stages or vector?
shall I get a new stem to hide the brake cable on my p2?
how can I setup a bento box without velcro nor drilling my frame?
vertical or horizontal handlebars hydration system?

these are my current first world problems. I havent found the solutions yet.

I just got back from a month in Thailand and Myanmar (Burma). I haven't complained about anything since I got back.

I bought my tickets to Austria today and found out I couldn't afford Business Class.

I stopped the habit of saying "I'm starving to death" whenever I felt mild hunger pangs after going to Malawi and meeting people who were starving to death.

DRILL YOUR FRAME

HORIZONTAL.. CABLE TIE A CAGE...

WITH THAT I HAVE SOLVED THE (FIRST) WORLDS PROBLEMS... YIPEE

I think getting bent out of shape about whether or not someone should have honked their horn on the PCH is kind of a first world problem.

I wanted to do hill training this weekend but I couldn't because it's flat at the shore where I have my summer home.

My race wheels aren't deep enough or fast enough.

When Giant replaced my old carbon frame for a new one free of charge because of a hairline crack, they didn't offer me an opportunity to upgrade at the split-the-difference cost. I was bummed.

(BTW- my LBS and Giant both rock! in the customer service area)

Gas station didn't have pay at the pump, so I went to the next one.

i haven't qualified for KONA.

Nothin' like a trip to the 3rd World, to realize how frivolous our 1st World problems actually are.

New Zealand is Awesome, but still not living up to its potential (particularly roads), so I refer to it as the best 3rd World Country I've ever been to. :-)

First world cyclists problem : the free bottles they gave me at the lbs aren't pouring water as well as I'm used to and my old camelbak are all too large and smelly so I had to order better bottles straight from Europe (UK to Canada) so I could have water dispensed at a proper rate.

You think this is a first world problem?
You loosing perspective, buddy.

My bike can't fly first class to Vienna.... you are just have second world problems.
