Road is allowed as rding provided you go full roadie.

Any attempt to display your mtb roots on the road bike devalues that riding time.

YES, YES, YES ….

Think a survey of sorts needed :

IT – What level.

Weight – How much.

Bike riding in hrs pw.

Bike types owned.

Annual spend.

And … how much time wasted on STW ….

😳

Yes. Kinda. No (though did a degree in Computer Science 🙂 )

No.
How much is much? Ride 3-4 times per week, normally around 2 hours ata go, difficult to get longer rides in with young family.
Yes.

@benslow:

This calls for a completely new spreadsheet 🙂 with Pivot Tables for the owners of full sussers 😉

No, yes and yes.

I knew lots worked in IT but this really cements it. No wonder you lot post stuff up immediately when I faff around trying to attach images and quotes etc like some stone age Luddite

Anyway
No
Ish
No

May-be, yes, what’s it?

Yes , No , No

No , yes, yes

no
Yes
No

I was overweight, but now a perfect weight.

Ride when I can, which isn’t often – however, I don’t own a nichebike of any description.

No, I get my hands dirty earning a proper living.

I drive a 4×4, so that discounts me even further from the STWtypical.

I am a middleclasswhineycockbag though, so not sure if that puts me back in the mix again.

“Are you overweight? Do you actually ride your bike much? Do you work in IT?”

Even more surprising is the number of members who not only meet at least two of these categories but are also called Graham. I’ve considered organising a group ride

Yes, yes and yes.

Yes, yes and no – but I’m in the public sector which must run IT a close second?

Not really. Yep and Yep.

Right, Im not overweight, i ride my bike loads – 7 days out of the last 7, although some of that is bmxing, and i dont understand computers, so could never work in I.T

I’d love to go to an STW meet up, seems more practical than having to claim on my healthcare just to get a shrink to boost my self confidence.

Yes – BMI 32
Yes – Am between bikes
Yes – IT and Telecoms (Astra Estate – so not that successful – yet)

Yes
Less than I’d like but a reasonable amount with 2 kids under 3
Absolutely not
And… I don’t drive an Audi anymore :'(

Yes – 15/12 down from 17/8 at the beginning of the year thanks iDave!
Yes – 4 to 5 times a week
Yes – IT well Telecoms and a Lexus

no

yes lots

no

No, Yes and Yes.

The ‘stereotype’ makes me laugh. We already did this. The majority of STW forum contributors work in the health service, ride their bike lots and are usually quite lean.

But that’ll never stop all the marketing and sales people who come here saying all STWers work in IT.

Yes, I’m ~1 stone heavier than I want to be
Yes, I ride my bike once or twice a week
Yes/No, I write software for flying spacecraft, so sort of IT related

Yes, no, no.

no yes no.

No, yes (although the commuter more than the mtb sadly), not really no although fixing computers is part of what I do.

Yep,
Yep
Yep.

emszy – you’re a girl.

Well…Durrrrrr what’s that got to do with anything?

No, Yes, No so there!

Well…Durrrrrr what’s that got to do with anything?

emszy – cool lesbian female doesn’t exactly fit with my SteroTypeWorld.

Unless you’ve got a subscription to Guns & Ammo and play World of Warcraft?

I’ve got an sub for Creative Knitting. Does that count?

Edit I think ‘cool’ and creative knitting don’t really go together LOL

I reckon Creative Knitting will probably pick up a few new subscribers today.

Yes
yes…all of them and one is an On-One
Yes…

But saving grace is my camper van…not had a big german halo car since I had my fuel card taken away 🙁

But what does it matter? I am another biker…thats all that counts.

Come down to Surrey Hills (can’t affford to live there(not sold my soul to it quite yet))…you’d be the exception then!

no, yes, yes

yes
not as often as I’d like due to decaying body
no thankfully

Yes, a bit.
No, not at the moment, but I have seven that I play with in the shed.
Yes.

What do I win?

Calling Twistywizard to the thread…. 🙂

Just got my free Singletrack subs t-shirt. Medium fits me fine does beg the question just how fat is fat. XL must be marquee size.

Yes (still got to lose the winter ‘muscle’),
Yes although this week has contained a no (unless riding the exercise bike in a hotel gym counts),
Yes (BCS Architect type)

Will be on the road bike this weekend proving (to my roadie mates) that I will be peaking in 2 months and with unshaved legs (partly due to my MTB roots and partly due to my wife preferring the feel of a proper hairy man aka gorilla)
