So.....
When you see someone on a bike what do you think of them based purely on what they ride?
not my thoughts but some examples from the thread..

Specialized bikes: Fun exciting
Giant Bikes: Bit boring
Trek Bikes: solid and sturdy
Surly Bikes: kinda like a beach shack; hippieville
Boardman :C2W
Pinnarello:mamil with cash


If someones riding:

A time trial bike: He must be pro cyclists or something.
A road bike while wearing lycra: I fit this one. Just like cycling faster than I could otherwise.
Full sus mountain bike: He must love the scenic route.
Some fat git on any ancient bike: Hes on the way to Mcdonalds and his car is out of petrol. Not a bicycle or exercise fan.
