douche canoe check
Quote | Reply
So my warmup tri of the year is tomorrow. Not a big race, maybe a C race.

My tri bike is not yet ready to ride, despite my best efforts :( So I will be on the alum roadie + training wheels for the race.

However, my Aero Helmet (Scott Split) has arrived.

Is it a douche canoe maneuver to ride a roadie + training wheels with a aero helmet? Or is a watt a watt?

No problem, but you cannot have a gatorskin on the rear training wheel.
front is ok

I have double *whatever crappy tires ship on a CAAD 10" tires, with flat spots from a trainer.

I did a duathlon last year on my cyclocross bike with road tires and a Giro Selector helmet. My tri bike was out of commission.

I hope no one thought I was a douche.

Bikes tend to ship with pretty good tires.

They know tires are 99.9% of how a bike feels.

Maybe you will win.


Ah that is true. New cars always ship with super awesome handling tires that wear out in 30k miles so you think the drive is smooth.

Looks like my wheels are:

More people should get an aero helmet before a tri bike. I did a couple races with an aero helmet before I got my tri bike.

I think people who are 100 or more pounds overweight look pretty "interesting" riding with an aero
helmet, I don't know if that's exactly douche canoe status, it's just odd looking.

Of course that's not your dilemma, so I say use your aero helmet, just no blue jean cutoffs or high top basketball shoes.

Find out what it is in life that you don't do well, then don't
do that thing.

You crossed the douche canoe threshhold once you called it a "C" race. After that, nothing else you do impacts your status.

Well we both know I am a douche canoe, but people at the race won't.

It's a slang term, don't get all high and mighty acting like you've never used slang before.

I say go for it. I raced an Olympic this past weekend and there was a guy riding a road bike with tennis shoes on platform pedals, but he was wearing a fluorescent green Rudy Wing 57. Did it stand out? Absolutely, but more power to him for trying and not giving a damn about what he looked like.

I prefer the more literally jarring "Douche Nozzle" as in: the part of the douche-unit that actually sees the front lines as it were.
