Doesn’t have to be the best, you don’t have to own it or even like it, you just have to think it’s cool. Can be absolutely anything bike related

Mine, the Fox Forks logo, even though I’ve never had any Fox forks

What’s your coolest bike thing?

Bet you anything someone boring will be along soon to say “Riding them”

Everyone knows its this

the ribs on a Thomson seatpost for mtb’s.

pretty much anything ‘top end’ for road bikes.

That is one ugly bike.

Is that a 36er

Boone ti kit is very cool as are ahearne flask holders

Ugly things can be cool, but alas, that bike defo not for me!

fox rp2 shock

something so little and light making a bike comfy and controlable with a big old hefty lumps sat on it………………AWESOME

Hip flask cage – nice 🙂

Riding push bikes is not…and never will be ‘cool’.Its one up from trainspotting and one down from photography (the ‘artistic’ type 😉 ).

A CO2 inflator in use with bare skin?

It is this:

What’s the coolest bike related thing?

me… probably

those panniers that look like flowery handbags.

For the girls obviously.

otherwise the pizza cutter is cheesy (pun intended) and the campag corkscrew old hat. Ap for his flasks…

I’ll come back when I have something constructive to say.

A map board.

Falling off your bike and really hurting yourself and NOT crying! That’s pretty cool!

More love/hate. But to me these just look right:

Really want one of the eBay replicas with decals saying “Chinarello Ponce”, and one of the pukka ones.

My tool boxes currently at about 6 of varying sizes and due another 3 soon 😀

80mm rims and Surly Larry tyres are quite cool.

God i’m a nerd for thinking tyres are cool. 😳

I can’t tell if that’s serious post, but there is nothing LESS cool than a map board on a bike. Sorry 😛

And how can you not say this is cool. 🙂

The oversock.

Popularised by Sean Kelly et al in the Belgian Classics, allowing one to run up cobbled climbs without slipping about like a fool, then adopted by those who know…

Better than overshoes when racing in the rain; your feet get as wet, but you don’t have to carry two big soggy neoprene lumps around, and they keep the worst of the grit and mud off your shoes. They also irritate some mountain bikers, which is a plus.

1990’s Konas. Any model.

Every time I see someone riding past on an old Kona it looks better than any other bike. Ever.

landing on a transition of a smooth jump or drop. makes my inner child giggle 🙂

That thin ribbon of favourite singletrack through that favourite bit of forest taht makes you smile whatever time of year, whatever the weather on whichever bike you are riding.

Its clearly Inman doing nice tabletops on his bmx, in the sunshine over some nice trails.

It’s a good feeling 🙂

I love Dromarti shoes as above. One day.

JMC –

Droppy seatposts. Nothing else on a pushbike bike will ever impress a normal person.

Learning how to ride a two-wheeler as a kid.

The smell of a new bike.

Raleigh bike spanners.

…there is nothing LESS cool than a map board on a bike…

Right, that’s you off my xmas card list. 👿

Jeepers! Those pedals look like bear traps!

I’ve a feeling they’re meant too – and they are cool 😀

For me, teaching someone to ride a bike, the moment when they first realise they are cycling on their own, never ceases to make me grin like a loon.

And I get paid to do it.

Rear Suspension Gubbins Look Cool!!

Anyone with a technically inquisitive mind will understand where I am coming from. They turn the dreary, 100 year-old classic bike design into some fascinating contraption you might see in Whacky Races.
