do you push your bike?

why do people always seem to walk along with their bike whilst they push it? Do they know when you ride it, it goes faster? are you a pusher? DO pushers bother you?

Ha Ha! I know that my bike seems to go faster when I ride it. I see a lot of pushers around here, I even pass a few on my bike when I go for my daily bike ride. Sometimes I push my bike, but only if I'm very tired from over doing it. I can ride my bike for miles at a time when the sun is beaming until I'm literally out of breath, and sometimes when I reach a really steep hill, my legs will start to hurt and I would have to get off the bike and push it until I get up the hill. I hate riding my bike up steep hills.

I personally do not mind pushers at all. The only time I have ever pushed my bike is if the hill is too steep for me to bike up. Often times I will go out running by my apartment on the trail and my boyfriend will go with me and ride my bike alongside of me to keep me company and to just watch over me. (We have had quite a few attacks this summer in the Central Florida area on women running and biking on the trails alone.) If I take a short walking break he will often get off the bike and push it alongside of me until I start running again. I think it's easier for him to push it instead of trying to bike slowly to stay next to me. Why personally do pushers bother you?

wow, thats so bad. At least you have someone to go with you. they only really bother me if they are right behind me as its that constant ticking of the wheel that bugs me. I know i should let it go!

I'm guilty of pushing my bike from time to time, but only because the hill was too steep for me to peddle my fat a$$ up! lol However, my bicycle is one that does not have any gears to make it easier. Perhaps one day I'll save up enough money to buy a new one. I'd like a 21 speed....so hopefully sooner than later, I'll make it happen. No, pushers don't bother me. There are far too many other things to irk me. lol
