Everything everyone does is just fine, bikes doesn’t have rules, there’s no set way to dress/ride/set-up your bike, can’t we just appreciate riding bikes and the fun it brings?
Well anything is fine unless it is imposed on others.
I ride bikes, if I really had to categorise it, I ride BMX, 4X, XC, trail, all mtn, freeride, DH. When i am out riding my goals are to make everything look and feel as natural, creative and as fluid as possible, i understand that the way i measure how good riding is is down to style and creativity, just as others will measure how “good” someone is by how fast they are, there’s no right or wrong, just different iews on what is “good”.
I don’t care who’s fastest or bestest or if you fall into a rider cliche, if you’re sound you’re sound, if you’re a dik, you’re a dik, bikes does not come into it. It’s nuts judging people’s character based on bikes, it’s ludicrous, i would think as adults people would know better.
This whinge is spawned by so much negativity towards one another on this forum and out riding. I expect either lots of negativity or lots of agreement that riders are treating other riders poorly for stupid reasons in response.
