[Closed] do singletrackers really wear this?

Peakless helmets, lycra and bar ends - is this a retro meeting?

Assos being worn too,might be roadies trying the dirty side of cycling 😯

You obviously havnt seen the pink camo Singletrack Jersey

When I normally see lycra clad MTBers I think XC whippets .. however I'm not so sure in this case ;-0

Did these roadies wake up and think "why don't we go to a mtb trail centre and borrow a MTB i have read so much about in my cycling weekly mag"

Who, or what are "Singletrackers"?

potential customers Brant 🙂

Who, or what are "Singletrackers"?

in France we call them 'Singletraquois' 😉

Oh, and I have some assos bibshorts but no road bike. In fact sometimes I wear them underneath my downhill kit. Is that allowed?

Permision to say JEY!

Club 18 - Dirty (Like it!)

Julian, I do the same 😉 but I also have a road bike a look like these boys most week day evenings, but not on a mtb. Well maybe at mountain mayhem I will.

Looks like the goldtec lads at hanchurch to me, in which case yes, xc wippets most definately fits the description. If you've ever seen the pace Kev and boys move at events you wouldn't be taking the piss.

see the photo...I dare you to call him a big lycra clad fag and walk away with all your limbs and teeth in the correct place.

honestly, some people... who gives a **** what you wear, it's about riding ya bike as fast as hell...not a bloody fashion show!

honestly, some people... who gives a **** what you wear,

cyclists, especially MTB'ers who like to diss other kinds of cycling that's different from their own as it could be deemed homosexual, which offends their slightly right wing middle class middle management sensibilities.

One of them is so cool, he has his sunnies on the back of his head...moron.

Tazzymtb,think his pens leaked ink down his arms 😀

OH my I'm laughing hysterically and I certainly like the world SINGLETRAQUOIS .... that is ace!!

Agh shaved legs as well 😯

Obviously, they couldn't possibly be having as much fun as as a load of hip and cool 'singletrackers' wearing baggy shorts and peaked helmets.

Could they?

I thought it was all about being hip and cool 😉

The lad with the leaking pen down his arm,is indestructable. If you see the lycra-clad,bar-end wielding ,short arse,on a climb.....throw down the gauntlet :wink:.You'd better be good 8)

There not fat enough to be singletrackers

What the **** has homophobia got to do with taking the piss out of roadies?

Methinks the real underlying trend here is over-sensitive left wing yoghurt knitters taking offence at any instance of mirth that may be banded about, and thus interfering with their ethos of being bloody miserable fun killers at any given opportunity.

It's funny how this forum has changed over the years.

I honestly can't see anything other than a group of cyclists probably out enjoying themselves.

I agree can we not just have a laugh here without it being taken too seriously.

Agree with Anthony. Christ, I'm female and I never bang on about other people's clothes the way forum members seem to do these days. Who gives a t*ss?

In answer to the the op, yes.

They just look like a bunch of guys getting ready to go for a ride to me.

I agree with people who say who cares what you wear on a ride, but equally if you are going to get special garish lycra suits made up then you should expect people to take the piss!

Rocketdog you really are ****.

Ahh,that is not taking the piss.

Fella with the ink down his arms looks as bent as a nine bob note though.

Silverpigeon, just read all of that BM thread, jesus, nearly crying with laughter at points.....savage but joyous...

who gives a shit .... they could probably outride me so thus i will not diss there clothing ......

i learnt long ago that its not what you ride/wear its how your ride/wear it ....

had my ass shown to me by many a lesser biked man. And done the same to those that sneered at my bike......

True that, Trail Rat. Spoken in a true Miagi style.

singeltraquois... Merde... Didn't even new this word existed...

Some of you folk are so hung up on what people wear, ffs who really cares. Apart from 'singletrackers' obvioulsy. I suppose those that do get hung up on things like this will soon move onto another 'sport' when mtbing become less fashionable.

Mtbing is fashionable?

not that i've noticed...

Dont think thats Hanchurch.
And wearing clothign liek that is one of the reasons normal and rad kids think MTBign is ridiculous. They look fing german ffs.

One word - Obree.

singeltraquois... Merde... Didn't even new this word existed...

ça n'éxistait pas: je l'ai inventé. (what is the mot juste for singletrack anyway?) ...sort of makes me think of the Maquis. But with brighter clothes.

Is bikemagic down kids?

How many of you are going to call Kev at BETD and arrange a meet up?
" You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?"

I wish i could rather than mouthing off on the internet.

(what is the mot juste for singletrack anyway?

I see no one remembers the heady lycra filled days of the late 80's/early 90's.

I think I share Rocketdog's sense of humour. Whereas it appears many others don't have one.
