which is the preffered term when describing the sport in which people fist themselves up a mountain whilst riding on asphalt?

I usually refer to it (or any other form of cycling TBH) as “playing bikes”. 🙂

Dunno, what’s the preferred term for armoured fatties sweating on DH bikes?

What have you been calling it up til now then?

i’m only really interested in the term roadies would use to decribe their preffered form of bike sporting pleasure.

currently re-doing a website and the (german) owner likes the term road riding, but i err more to riding or biking….

wotdyasay?

Road riding.

Road riding, easier to seperate between the days I’m fisting 😕 myself up a mountain and the days I’m an armoured fattie on a DH bike. 🙄

on-road bike or on road-bike
not to be confused with, MTB = My Tarmac Bike

cycling / cyclist …there is no need to be more specific than that as all other variations are keen enough to distance them self into sub categories.

Yeah, cycling. That would really work on his website, wouldn’t it…

?

ist themselves up a mountain

Oh, my sides! Haven’t laughed that loudly in ages.

I’ve got a road bike.
I use it for road rides.
But I call the ‘sport’ road cycling.

You choose……
