Ride a SS road bike to work every day, and mtb at weekends (used to do loads a uni)
Sort of, but hopefully moving back into proper engineering soon.

I'm overweight
I ride loads (but that's what you asked in the post title)
I worked in IT for 33 years (plus the bit I was doing at the shoppe when we met).

The second question was a trick question.

I think you're cuddly, not overweight.

1)right weight just needs shifted about a bit
2)haven't commuted in 2 years but that's going to change (stop using 17 miles each way as an excuse
3)no but spend too much of my working life staring at a screen

Are you overweight? Yes,
Do you actually ride your bike much? Yes, although suppose that depends what loads is. commutes atleast 6miles a day and try to get out for 30/40 milers at the weekend. I balance it out with a shedload of chocolate and fizzy juice to compensate for any weight loss! ๐Ÿ˜€
Do you work in IT? Kinda, graphics not quite IT but not far..

No (almost the opposite)

Yes - mainly road riding nowadays (does that count?)

No

I don't think any of my biking friends fit the STW stereotype

No, but could do with loosing another 1/2stone.
Yes if 100-150 miles a week counts.
Sort of, marketing analyst.

Should have added that I am spectacular at falling off, currently have a very bent front wheel on my mtb that has been that way since the first weekend in Feb when I stacked it. And I'm also a girl at the really technical stuff too. Put me a bike with nice flowing riding though and I'll happily go round all day long.

I do commute about 60 miles a week but as this is an MTB forum I discounted time spent on a bike with skinnyish wheels and drop bars.

Haven't been on my bike for 2 weeks now as being in IT I'm actually sat in a non-glamourous location in a hotel room and damn to I miss it. Trying to work out if there will be space in the car for my bike as well as all of my mates stock I will be travelling to bespoked with this weekend, seems silly to be going to it without the a bike at least.

Road is allowed as rding provided you go full roadie.

Any attempt to display your mtb roots on the road bike devalues that riding time.

YES, YES, YES ....

Think a survey of sorts needed :

IT - What level.

Weight - How much.

Bike riding in hrs pw.

Bike types owned.

Annual spend.

And ... how much time wasted on STW ....

No.
How much is much? Ride 3-4 times per week, normally around 2 hours ata go, difficult to get longer rides in with young family.
Yes.
