Male Cyclists aged 40-60

[DCLane]

Again, just at the bottom end:

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. Lycra cycling gear

4. Church, motoring, lots of things?

5. Not really, work wear is brought in anyway and cycling gear wouldn't be appropriate for my job role

 

[blockend]

5. Define smart.
I'm getting images of fawn coloured or navy blue easy-wash trousers with lots of velcro - maybe a new spin on a windcheater. No ta.
If by smart you mean Argyle socks, tweed plusses and a Norfolk jacket that don't make me sweat like a pig or something one might wear to a party without a hint of Saga, Rohan, outward bound courses, or worthiness of any variety, then yes, absolutely.

Hi, I am a 3rd year student researching male cyclists, between the ages of 40-60. If anyone could reply to a few questions i have i would be very very grateful.


1. Do you cycle to work?

2. Do you cycle for leisure?

3. What sort of clothes do you wear for cycling?

4. What other past times do you do when not at work or cycling?

5. Would you be interested in a more smart but breathable and movable clothing range?



Thanks again

You're welcome but you can only "Thanks again" if you've thanked previously.

1. Yes sometimes
2. Yes sometimes
3. Some lycra, some MB clothes, various stuff
4. Studying the Max Lange Attack and French Guimard, playing with and educating my kids, growing pumpkins, going to the gym (I think that's a fad) and paying some attention to my partner to ensure that she doesn't leave me. Oh and being pedantic.
5. It doesn't sound too appealing but would need to see it and test it on its algebra to see how smart it really was

[Brandane]

1. Do you cycle to work? No, it's too far away.

2. Do you cycle for leisure? YES

3. What sort of clothes do you wear for cycling? Lycra shorts, covered by Endura long trousers (shorts in good weather). Top half - any old T shirt, fleece in winter, waterproof jacket. Casual jeans etc. if not going far.

4. What other past times do you do when not at work or cycling? Motorbike riding and maintenance, car maintenance, bike fettling.

5. Would you be interested in a more smart but breathable and movable clothing range? Depends on price and suitability. Breathable usually = expensive, so probably not.​

 

[SlowerThanASluggishSloth]

1. Yes, when I worked

2. Yes

3. Short trips (<10 miles) ordinary clothes. Longer trips, cycling-specific

4. Rock climbing, walking, family

5. Unlikely. I don't need to arrive looking smart anywhere. Even when I worked I kept suit, tie, etc. at work to change into.

 

[Bicycle]

1. Do you cycle to work?
Yes
2. Do you cycle for leisure?
Yes
3. What sort of clothes do you wear for cycling?
Mostly road-style lycra. Even off-road I wear road stuff. It's good for me wherever I'm riding.
4. What other past times do you do when not at work or cycling?
Gardening, reading, chess, study of language, 20th century East European literature, the influence of faith and conflict on SE European culture, old cars, old motorcycles, stuff.
5. Would you be interested in a more smart but breathable and movable clothing range?
No, probably not. I come from the days of woolen cycling shorts, so lycra is quite extraordinary to me. I'm like the guy with a 1992 Nissan who is still blown away by its electric door mirrors when everyone else has Dual-Zone Auto Climate Control, ESP, Brake Assist and flappy-paddle gearchange.

Thanks again

Just out of interest - the OP has only ever posted once on this board - why do we carry on answering the questions - we don't even get an acknowledgment? Somehow I doubt the poster even checks back on here ....
