Good grief Bonj. Here's a thought ... It Doesn't Matter. It was pretty clear to me (and, I suspect, to most other people) what the original poster meant by "discipline". You're just arguing for argument's sake now.
course it's a road bike. It can't exactly be ridden OFF road very well, can it?Dave5N said:Bonj, a track bike isn't a road bike. Really, it isn't.
No but i've seen someone on (or should i say with - he was pushing it at the time) a cyclocross bike, and the grimace on his face told me he was in significant pain.Dave5N said:Have you tried cyclocross? Or are you as usual speaking from a position of ignorance?

Being as track bike can not be ridden ON road, and a track is an OFF road track, then the opposite is true. Track bikes are off road bikes.bonj said:course it's a road bike. It can't exactly be ridden OFF road very well, can it?

bonj said:No, that isn't AKA discipline. Discipline doesn't just mean 'sort' of bike riding, with the scope to include anything you can think of - it's more a definite, distinct categorisation than that. This isn't a definition, because if it were it could yield false positives - but it may help if you are confused about what is a discipline and what is not, to ask yourself the question "do you get a certain type of bike for doing this?"
