Top 5 things to look for in a cycling buddy
5- Smack talk: I love the competative smack.
Favorite example: "Man, if you wanted to walk something I could have brought my dog."
4- Humor: Suffering can be fun!
Favorite example: "If you collapse, try to do it near a big rock. I didn't bring my gun to put you out of your misery and I'm not dragging you back to the car. Pick one that looks good for bludgeoning."
3- Vigilance: Sometimes we need to be saved from our own stupidity.
2- Similar Stature: I love it when a buddy trades up for better gear and sells you his old stuff for cheap.
1- Money: This goes hand in hand with #2. The more money the friend has, the better the 2nd hand gear.
