Disclaimer: gave veganism a try!
Some of my best friends don't use animal products.
Medicines you mean?
There are some similar looking "Vegan Runner" tops at our local parkrun. I've toyed with having some "Omnivorous Runner" tops made.
How do you know when someone is vegan?
They'll ****ing tell you.

they get Piers Morgan frothing at the mouth and his blood pressure through the roof so they are OK in my book.
I bet he’s Christian too.
Especially if the picture was taken in Lent. 😉
I guess he's stopped because he's tired and weak.

I just don’t see the need to broadcast your dietary choices like that.
Makes the rest of us look bad!

No, that's someone from Yorkshire. Vegans get drawn into tedious debates with omnivores who feel threatened by someone who's made a different dietary choice.
Brilliant! I'm not vegan and I want one.I'm not above a bit of button pushing in the same way the sea is not above the clouds!
It would be fun hearing - "Bloody hell, look at that a chubby vegan" - as I stood there full of bacon roll in my misleadingly labelled and inappropriately tight lycra top.
I foresee a gammon implosion - "VEEGGGANNN - CYYYYYCLIST - Bacon lycra, red cabbage jumping ... aaaggghhh so much hate, can't compute" BOOOMMM as they explode in a pile of shredded gammon!!!
Can it have an EU flag somewhere? And a rainbow?
surely there is a climate change version with detachable sleeves that read "tree hugger" that would up the close pass rate by V8's in the down under world of denial
Vegans get drawn into....
Really?
Which group has somehow managed to shoehorn in the fact they have a different dietary preference when it's likely its completely irrelevant to the topic in hand (see "vegan cyclist").
Personally I don't give a toss what people choose to eat but its incredibly rare to see "omnivores" start these debates, rather its usually self-righteous vegans who throw the first punches. Sadly I feel this is likely a symptom of people who choose to use their dietary choices in lieu of personalities.

In my 35 years of being vegetarian it has always been the meat eaters who start the debate. Nobody even knows I am vegetarian until it comes up when out for meal for example. The tedious debate then starts, a debate that will only ever end when they admit they only eat meat because they like the taste of it and put that above animals lives (which is fine if that is how they feel).
Instead of that they come out with all sorts of bullshit reasons.

Mate, I think you've been eating too much dodgy meat... 🙂
It's a dietary choice not a religion.

That's because you're not vegan.

This is true. I'm getting my 'Extra roughage' jersey out for today.
How about this one to really annoy people?

but its incredibly rare to see “omnivores” start these debates
You haven’t lived 🤣😂
Try posting a vegan recipe. Or attending family social gatherings. Or refusing a pork sausage*

Ah! Your thread that completely back fired.

Nobody except anyone who reads this thread, then 😉
Biff and Chip must be really upset.
No, that’s someone from Yorkshire
I'm from Yorkshire
I know a few vegan cyclists. they're alright. I know some non-vegan cyclists too. They're mostly alright too.
Ah! Your thread that completely back fired.
They often do. I’ve started posting wearing my bomb disposal outfit. He was a cock though.
Sometimes best to wear full flameproof gear when posting on here.
Hard to feel the effect of flaming on here. I view you all as my Tamagotchi and only come here to feed you and keep you socialised and exercised.

Some good suggestions here! Taking orders

You're confusing being vegan with eating a plant based biet.
Vegans don't use leather, wool, and other things one does not generally eat. Even certain brands of bike tyre.
Whatever happened to MidlandsTrailquestGraham?
He was quite entertaining on here, especially with his cabin in the woods house build.
He also dispelled the (tedious) myth that vegans are puny and almost transparent with weakness.
I like the Lifeboats top too.
It’s a dietary choice not a religion.
Questionable basis for following it, preachy attitude towards non-believers, demonising those not of the faith, willingness of some followers to use violent means to further their belief...sounds like a religion to me.
Shame there's still so much hate for vegans, especially on a cycling website.
CO2 reduction, animal welfare stuff, what's not to like?

he's still knocking around on Facebook so I guess he just stepped away from STW
Haven't got FB, please say hi from me, hope he's doing well.

I agree with Nick Al.

I'm a teacher, when I talk about it to younger people I never see these kinds of opinions. Seems to be a trait of middle-aged white blokes on the internet.

I find this interesting, mainly because there have been a few times when i have said the same thing to my wife.
Someone’s dietary choices are perfectly valid of course, but the zealous nature of some vegans does sound a little like some religious groups.
Can i just emphasise the word some? Obviously not all people are like this.
