Socially acceptable bikes.

[GIOS]

So which brands are socially acceptable and which are not. As someone stated here in the forum: "I'd rather walk than ride a De Rosa." Personally I don't understand this hatred towards more expensive bikes. Do you?

 

[mattobrien]

As a starter for ten, can I suggest that all bikes are socially acceptable.

Obviously apart from BSO's :-)

The only ones I ever take exception to are the expensive ''prestige'' bikes branded by luxury car manufacturers.

The person who supplied you with that quote rides a bike that is on par price wise/more expensive then a DeRosa. Make of that what you will.

I haven't got a lawyer.

But, luckily for you, I've since given my Trek bike away.

Pinarello - when ridden by Bradley Wiggins = Cool

Pinarello - when ridden slowly by a fat middle-aged man on a Sunday =Uncool

If the middle-aged man is happy with his Pinarello and has found the joy of cycling I'd say it's rather cool.

A bike by peugeot is acceptable.
A bike by bmw,mercedes,ferrari etc is not!

Does that apply to all halfords bikes.

Peugeot started off making bikes, cars are just a side line for them on rainy days?
