Are you a bike snob?

[jayonabike]

I only wave to proper cyclists. If your wearing Aldi or Lidl your a peasant and shouldn't be on the road. In fact you should be out sweeping the road in front of me to make sure there's no debris to damage my tyres. If your wearing DHB,Shutt or Castelli I'll grudgingly wave. If your wearing Assos your going to fast to wave at, and of course if your wearing Rapha (why wouldn't you) I'll wave at you like I'm waving at a lifetime friend.

How has Rolf Harris hacked into Pat's account?

One day I'll understand why comments about paedophilia are considered funny.

i wonder where that leaves the real peasants in Sports Direct and Muddy Fox gear. See quite a few of those big bright orange tops predominately on persons of a larger size, including me! It is a pity some of the other manufacturers can't look out of their office windows and see how many fatties are riding past and begin to cater a l bit for them.

Wasn't there something on Dragon's Den?

How about the Aldi crowd, do we get acknowledgement?

So low on the radar that it didn't even warrant a mention

OY! That's me... (but without the Lidl clothing)

Despite being a road bike rider most of the time, I enjoy confusing others by giving them cheery greetings while riding a knobbly tyred, front suspension equipped hybrid and wearing "normal" clothing occasionally.

Oh my word no... I would turn my head the other way, nose in the air.

Yesterday, a cyclist who'd just climbed over the St Bernard pass gave me a nod and I wasn't even on a bike.

Meanwhile, this sentence made me laugh:
''Then my boyfriend invited me along for a 15 mile ride with him on his vintage road racer (Moser). Suddenly I knew I had to have a new bike if I was going to a) keep up b) have children.''

Yeah, initially I read that as something to do with the seat, but now I'm just wondering if the boyfriend is very judgemental... :-)

I say "how do" to every person I meet when i`m on my bike, probably because cycling makes me happy
