1. A jacked-up pickup truck or SUV just begging to be pushed over. It would be a service to all other drivers on the road to humble one of these these top-heavy, oversized Urban Assault Vehicles.
2. What happens when a very pathetic, wimpy chick allows herself to be picked up by any guy mildly interested in her. Typically the guy becomes bored or dissatisfied after a short time and a breakup ensues.

1. See that pushover pickup that's tailgating me? I can't see anyone else on the road! At least in these Santa Ana winds here in the 909 should knock his truck over before my subcompact.
2. "Did you hear about Jason and Courtney? They like, totally broke up yesterday over the phone!"
"Yeah, seriously; I knew it was just another one of these pushover pickups that always fails after a month."

What cyclists say by convention as they pass each other on the road, or occasionally as they ride near pedestrians. It is infinitely more cool than mounting a dorky little horn or bell on your handlebars and squeezing it at every opportunity. It may not be always be strictly necessary, but it is a little courtesy that will get you cred and make you look experienced.
<College student races to class and overtakes a pack of spandex cyclists, but remains silent.>
"On your left! On your leeeeeft!" You gotta let us know! Where are your manners?"
<sound of metal crunching and muffled screams. this guy will not have to say this for a while.>

A term of complete agreement on something undeniably true. Synonyms: most definitely; for sure; 'like you needed to ask,' etc. Often used by white kids who think they are really cool but are really quite ordinary.

A pathetic attempt by people with no language skills to say something using only the words they know. Used by morons who don't know any words other than f*** and s***. There are many synonyms which are much more creative, interesting and precise in meaning:
shitfuck (noun)= retard, idiot, jerk, imbecile, punk, moron, cro-magnon, etc...

Reporter interviewing random person on the street: "So, what do you think about the economy these days?"
"Fuck this shit, shitfuck!"
Reporter: "Can you tell me where someone smarter is?"

I'm going 10 mph faster after finally getting a real road wheelset. The slick tires and lightweight wheels make a world of difference.

A brand of bicycle intended for off-road use on dirt or gravel trails. There is no limit to how much you can spend on them. Some of the best ones are amazingly beautiful works of high-performance technology that are also tougher than nails.
Most mountain bikes, though, are bought for fairly cheap, sometimes under $100, at department stores under brands such as Mongoose, Schwinn, or Magna. These "mountain bikes" are covered with fancy graphics, lots of gears, and suspension, but actually work very poorly:
1) The components are all bottom-of-the line, even if they have good names such as Shimano. They are heavy, poorly machined, and wear out or break quickly. The gears will usually grind and skip no matter how well you adjust them. Rims are often steel, which quickly rusts and bends out of round, is very heavy, and is never seen on decent wheels.
2) They are no fun to ride. Most of them weight at least 31-35 pounds, and the full-suspension models weigh around 45! Try riding up a hill on one of these. Most people just ride them around the streets, and the knobby tires soak up so much energy you can actually hear it. Full suspension will completely absorb any power you put out. It feels like riding through mud.
Mountain bikes are extremely popular, though, accounting for over 90% of all bikes on the average college campus. They are easier to ride than road bikes, but will prevent you from ever enjoying bike riding. If they are used for off-road use, they simply become a toy like dirt bikes that you can't use for everyday transportation. Overall, I think they are a backwards development in cycling technology.

"Did you see my new mountain bike? It's loaded! It has full suspension, 24 gears, chrome rims..."
"Dude-do yourself a service and buy a road bike like mine. Then see if you can keep up with me on the road."
