Mountain bikers are sexier

[Pat "5mph"]

So what about us roadies who tend to ride in MTB style baggies?

Depends ... less than 35c tyres ... definitely not sexy!

Well, one of my eight bikes is on 38c - but that is a MTB/Hybrid anyhow, so I claim partial sexyness

Actually, I didn't google. It appeared on my FB feed from a retro bike page and I thought 'How apt, I'll share that here'

[QUOTE 4447960, member: 43827"]But roadies are definitely more macho. How often do you see roadies riding on the pavement? Rarely, it's always the mountain bikes, big wusses. When I go to the bike parks like Merthyr and Cwmcarn they're too feeble to ride their bikes to the top and use the trailers to get them up there.[/QUOTE]
Tends to be the same around here, even allowing for the 'blokes on bicycle shaped object' sector of the population

Even when I had my RC 100, I always fancied a Ritchey P-22, or a P-21, & it'd have been even better if it had all his componentry on; stem, bars, seat-pin, rims, tyres, chainset. etc....

I had to give up my mountain bike because I was too sexy to ride it

Not this sexy though.

OK @Pat "5mph" You're right, I'm not a mountain biker. Just a roadie who likes a bit of rough occasionally.

Only a 'couple' of times - but then so did a lot of the real MTB-ers when the 40mph gusts of wind caught them off guard
