How different are you

[totallyfixed]

In real life? I'm asking because I have done I think 6 forum rides to date and with only a couple of exceptions I have been surprised by the reality compared to the online persona. As a for instance. one person chats away on here and is quiet as a mouse in real life.
Do we tend to think we are the same in reality as we are on here? I think I am the same but not for me to judge.

I bet you are a complete freewheel.

Well I don't wear a suit n tie or don a flat cap and have never gone about the place with a plastic bag on me head.

I ve noticed forum rides are very sociaable. Thats why I want to start doing more. Makes a change from trying to keep up on someones wheel with no time for chit chat

No idea if Im the same on a forum ? Though I do like to say what I think in real life. Thats why Im in the situation Im in now. I bite my tongue a lot on forums though cos Id be barred.

Well, I know that I talk too much on forum rides unless I'm having to put so much effort into climbing a hill that I can't, and even then - I'll try! My nightmare is that I end up telling people all of my hundreds of little tales over and over again until they can repeat them word-for-word! (Due to spending too much time by myself.)

Sounds worryingly like me as well

I don't think I am like me.... but I'm not sure?

I think I'm sort of shy in real life until I get to know someone ... whereas I don't seem to have a problem spouting drivel on here?

 

[MattHB]

I'm just over excitable and opinionated in real life as well!

 

[alecstilleyedye]

probably you can be a better judge than i, totallyfixed, as i've never met myself, whereas you have

 

[Globalti]

I think I'm about the same - quite extrovert and full of stoopid little stories.

 

[swee'pea99]

I'm green. Is that the kind of thing you had in mind?

 

[Flying_Monkey]

I am the same except slightly shorter.

 

[alecstilleyedye]

actually, on reflection, i've changed since the forum rides i did. i've now got short hair…

 

[mickle]

I'm scruffier and wrinklier.

 

[ianrauk]

I am blue... I am quiet as a mouse. I don't like to speak to anyone much and I really don't like cycling.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

I'm a fuggin' eejit.
