The different types of cyclists becoming clear now

[Drago]

This wasn't intended to be a labelling thread but, just something I've seen in my area as of late. Its nothing to do with helmets, lights or bright tops.

But you thought youd mention them anyway.

I was out for a ride the other day, you know, me being the internationally accredited cycling trainer that I am. Well, I kid ye not, I saw a British cycling ride leader letting his kids play with a loaded shotgun while swimming in a slurry pit, and one of the kids was waving his carbon fibre fishing rod perilously close to some power lines. And you know what? Not one of them was wearing a helmet! Then some fool who had no cycle training whatsoever and was no better than the rest of them comes around the corner intent on nothing but his Strava segment and rode crash bang into a queue of orphans and puppies at the bus stop! Maniacs! Fortunately I'm a superior rider so haughtily lifted my nose in the air and went back to riding no handed so I could roll a fag for the yound filly sat on my crossbar while I thought some more about fitting a front brake to my bike at some point.

I'm the only cyclist in my village.

lol @Drago

Seriously, @DSK , are you fairly new to cycling?

 

[raleighnut]

You'll be referring to cycling as a 'Sport' next.

 

[Brandane]

blah de blah

Shock! Horror! There are nobbers on bikes, and there are reasonable people on bikes. WTF does it have to do with helmets or clothing, exactly?

Whats a BSO rider.

The op would love me. But Jannie thinks Im over dressed to ride 10 minutes to the beach 😁🏖

This morning, I'm doing a training segment on a quiet residential area which usually has a couple of other cyclists and runners on it. BSO rider, no helmet, one phone stood at road side

What kind of cyclist sets out with only one phone ?

Whats a BSO rider.

Someone who has a cheaper bike than the op.

 

[Drago]

I usually set out with phone.

I'm starting to think this thread didn't go quite the way the OP intended.....

Whats a BSO rider.

I had to google it, and was quite surprised by the answer, seems a bit of an odd one, but I'm sure it makes some people feel better about something.

 

[Drago]

Whats a BSO rider.

A third class citizen. If a BSO rider were a country they would be Argentina. BSO riders are beneath contempt, a piece of sputum stuck to the U bend of cycling life. Or at least that's what some people seem to think - I'm pleased to see anyone one a bike, even a BSO.

Yes, but how does this work when you own more than one bike? Do you go for average, max, range, or total?
