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?

Riding push bikes is not...and never will be 'cool'.Its one up from trainspotting and one down from photography (the 'artistic' type ๐Ÿ˜‰ ).

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Cedric may be the correct answer, but did you have to dig out a picture of his lunchbox?

I'll say it's when a skill you've been trying to learn becomes automatic and you realise you;re not thinking about it any more.
