Ain't Doody, thank you!! I always tell audiences, please ask. You can bet there'll be five other people who were too self-conscious, but are darned grateful. My favorite is NNTR (no need to reply), which saves everyone a lot of time. NNTR.

Sheldon Brown is yer man
for cycling vocabulary:

A few I thought of before I remembered Sheldon's site:
OTB can also be "off the back" (of the peleton, as in, dropped).
Endo--not an acronym but often-used phrase for over the handle bars, end over end (bad wreck situation)
