Someone mooted this idea on a thread recently. The STW ubiquitous products we know all the others have.
I though it might be fun to make a full list. I shall start if I may:

Car --- Audi

I know, I thought that was one of the prerequisites to be STW!

Car --- Audi
Van- VW T5
Shoe --- Brogues
Razor ----- Merkur
Stove----- (we need a model here)
Coffee maker---- (again is there a model)

Sorry is this typical STW things that "I" actually own? Or just typical things that the generic stw composite should own in internet land?

I guess the STW composite stereotype. Just to maintain the feeling of that I posted this in the wrong forum.

I'm hoping this is going to be a list of things, none of which I own. Winning so far.

I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! My life is my own!

I have got an Inbred SS, an axe and a Bell Stoker though.

My hunch is that we all own or have access to at least one internet enabled device

But you want the stereo type

They are non subscriber using and an ipad and they mainly post that they can't see the forum because its hidden behind the adverts

Is that "STW" for, "Crashes often".

Items owned, for the "definitive" list of whether one is STW, might include:
Flashy watch/es.
Extensive collection of cycling related books, all of which have been read!
Extensive collection of cycling specific, merino wool clothing.
Overly powerful front light.
Extensive collection of apple products.

I presume the other obvious STW meme is now a banhammer offence?

Uses "trackworld" in the title even though it makes no sense.

Rides a niche brand rigid SS with silly handlebars.

Congratulations. We have all just described Chipps.

I don't seem to be that true to the clique, sorry. 🙂

Car - Fiat Doblo
Work in IT - not exactly. Unless you count this.
Beard - nope
Woodstove - yes, it's an Aarrow I think
Coffee machine - I use an Aeropress mostly, or cafetiere
Children and married - neither
Dog - yes. A poodle
Have built a shed - haven't built anything out of wood since woodwork class at school
Several watches - Oh, OK then.
Expensive camera - yes, but I claim a professional need for it/them.
Alpkit - I do have a sleeping bag of theirs

Expert in the fields of:
Firearms - nope. Though I'm a decent shot apparently
Politics - couldn't be less interested
Foreign Affairs - ditto
Religion - same again.

I do have a Merkur razor though - and some Edwin selvedge jeans.

Shall I stop now? I seem to have re-entered the cliché 🙂

There is more than one stereotype category. The T5 driver or the berlingo driver. The Jones or the Soul. The Audi or the Octavia, etc.

Complete and utter faith that random technology [a] makes an actual difference to their mediocre capability on a bike.
