What kind of cyclist are you?

[stavros]

Definitely a roadie as I look down and sneer at mtb-ers and the rest of the velonation riff-raff.

I even found I was sneering at myself the other day as I caught a glimpse of my reflection in a shop window when on the town bike.

Me too - MTB is not cycling really is it.

No its not. Its 'pratting about in the woods'.

I'm a plodder Cyclist. Riding through the country lanes thinking isn't life wonderful. till some ****** of a motorist upsets me then I'm angry cyclist. To say the least.

I'm the kind of cyclist who doesn't give a toss what anyone thinks. I'll ride any type of bike.

I'm the kind of cyclist who thinks people who attempt to 'departmentalise' cyclists into stereotypical demographs are a bunch of c**ts.

Jimbo - the multi-tasker at the checkout of cyclery!

I thought the collective on here are a 'bunch of chats'?!

Nah, cycling started on the dirt...

It's yon roadies who are the wannabes.

 

[Campfire]

I ride on the road and ride on tracks. Don't like being categorised as that's what puts some people off cycling.

MTB/Urban/Roadie

I MTB, urban cycle a lot even wearing jeans but I will put on the crusty audaxer like road kit if I go out on my evening loop.

That, I'm afraid is an American copy of a British invention.

No dirt in sight.

I'm a Roadie but with some triathlete tendancies, I swim more than I ride, but when I do get on the bike I'm in roadie mode I guess!

My bike rides can be classified as either, excersise, pleasure, or practical, but usually are a mixture of any of those, like when I feel like getting a bag of chips, I'll jump on the bike and make it a six mile round trip, stopping to eat the chips on the way back, or a longer trip will be also a sight seeing day out with some targets to hit along the way, like climb the hill without resorting to the 25 toothed chainring, or keep above 30km/h for the next km when on a flat section.

Sure is. Hence the author's caricature of roadies as disliking mtbers because they appear to be having fun.
