I'm making that last confession for the first time. (If you are chicked and no one is there to see it...) When I was living as a dude named Nick, it's something I never, ever would have wanted anybody to know.
So what does it mean to get "chicked?"

It is perhaps the worst affront to the ego of a cyclist who's running on testosterone. The truth is, though, that I didn't like being passed by anyone--unless, of course, I was "drafting"* them.
Believe it or not, in my current life, I've chicked a few male cyclists. These days, though, when I'm passed by another cyclist, it may have as much to do with an imbalance in age as in a gender difference!
*--or wanted to look at them from behind. (Pretend you didn't read that! ;-))
