I want to become more of a stereotype. It'll save time when working out whether people should like me or not... I just need to choose which sterotype I want to be.

Fun?
portly mid life crisis sufferers with delusions of gradeur [sic], who think that riding around on an expensive push bike somehow makes up for their dull job in engineering or IT.
I'm English, 42 with a little round tum. Have a challenging job that combines Engineering AND IT from which riding provides a ready escape. I have two moderately priced XC mincer bikes. My delusions are far from grand!
BTW. the author of that particular vitriol can't spell "grandeur". I suppose that is to be expected from someone who posts on Urban Dictionary.
buzz - If you really want to be pedantic about the UD entry then it failed to mention that all STWers are very pedantic...
No they're not. Prove it...
Know there knot..
" it failed to mention that all STWers are very pedantic..."
The urbane forum denizen make an effort to lift the standard, else it will descend into chaos and "lolcat" speech.
The Urban Dictionary serves merely the vulgar and the illiterate. True snootiness requires good spelling, grammar and obscure insults.

Sometimes I wish I'd never learnt how to post images.
stereotypes exist because they reveal certain truths. I am saving for an audi....
Just to point out, on Urban dictionary, "or how they "smoked some downhillers" whilst riding their rigid on-one wearing a blindfold on the black route.
That's me that is. And I totally smoked them. And I was riding fixed too.
you badass lol!
I just ordered some rigid forks for my ti on-one
I don't wear full body armour, but I can if I must...
I'll take the worst trail centre over a thousand surrey hills...
I wouldn't. Lots of ace riding in the Surrey Hills.

you're just jealous!
Fun?
Exactly.
Does this meet with STW TC users? Whilst talking to another biker over coffee, he asked me what I thought of my Ionos helmet, then said he had bought one to match each of his bikes....funny tubby man.
What's a trail centre?
It's a location with all-weather, purpose-built cycling trails. Generally considered a useful addition to the bridleway network.
Edit-It's a location with all-weather, purpose-built cycling trails. Generally considered useful for keeping people off the bridleway network.
interesting idea.

People ought to avoid the Surrey hills at all costs, nothing worth riding at all there, it's utter rubbish. You'll be wanting anywhere else but there. It's crap, really it is.. Especially the miles of singletrack and beautiful scenery and all the mad droppy jumpy stuff on Pitch and Leith. God good no, it's shite.
Avoid at all costs.
He clearly couldn't ride for toffee, just like the rest of those sanctimonious asshats
are there no standards left anywhere on this confounded internetz?
trail centres are like, sooo last year, who still rides trail centres anyway?
I do-but only on my fixie cx nichetastic dandy horse and with an overwhelming sense of superiority.
I rode at trail centres a few times last year (5 I think) and barely saw anyone at any of them ('cause I either visited early in the morning at the weekend, or on a weekday), so can't confirm the stereotypes (other than myself, who unfortunately does tick a few of the boxes).
Fair play ^^ Steve, I also fit some of the stereotypes due to my all black stealth outfit, which when you go to decathlon seems to be the cheapest colour for the stuff you want!!!
I love trail centres!
Me too. But I also love the Peaks, Lakes, N Wales. The Surrey Hills is shite though.
