I have my Mothers bloodline which I think entitles me to marry a proper Jewish girl 8)

I'm not a colour but I am fiercely British. Grrrrr.

I have found that answering with the truth, which is 'Hackney', has also confuzzled police officers asking the very same question

Well there you have a bit more of a case. But (personally, speaking as a W[s]ASP[/s]) I still don't think I'd find that particularly irrelevant or intimidating when directed at me.

'don't get cocky/smart/clever with us sonny'. Which is most strange, I think you'll agree.

Yeah. That certainly doesn't sound like you 😉

Not sure if half rice / half chips works - can we come up with more enjoyable food combo?

Fish and Chips or Sausage and Chips?

I saw a black guy at Laggan the other week.

Obviously I pointed and stared.

In my own entirely anecdotal and subjective experience - I reckon there are a lot more ethnic minorities out enjoying the countryside in places like the Lake District than there were when I was a kid. Don't know if there are any stats to back that up......

Interesting. In my equally unscientific opinion, I reckon in a year around the cotswolds I see less than 10 black or asian people out riding or rambling....what's up with that?

Hmmmmmmmmmm so you're from Yorkshire and of Jewish descent. If only there were a lazy but handy cultural stereotype applicable to both? A shared character trait that sums you up perfectly. Almost defines you as a person? ....

Hmmmmmmm, no. Nothing springs to mind....

I'm all the above and have never met anyone on a mtb who isnt.

You've asked everyone you've ever met on a bike about their sexuality and religious beliefs? Wow.

Hora; I really don't want to know where you're 'coming from' or what goes on in the dark, disgusting festering putrid recesses of your foul imagination, quite frankly. 😐

So It doesn't really matter if it's fish or sausage? See how well the food analogy works?

Yes, if only we could get two stereotypes for the price of one!

Eh? Shouldn't that be white, black, yellow? Or maybe English, Nigerian, Chinese? Or even Caucasian, Negroid, Mongoloid?

Strange mix of terms.

My mistake officer PC 🙄

I am neither white, christian and as alluded to earlier on, perhaps bisexual for most of the 94 world cup 😉

Police officers are a bit odd I think.

Aaaaayy, come on - there’s no need for that nastiness and bigotry 🙄

I think you'll find that those that frequent this forum are sensible, pleasant, well adjusted individuals 😯 🙂

I worked in a bike shop with two gay guys though neither of them actually cycled... do they count? They were brilliant salesmen despite knowing nothing about cycling which was interesting to watch. Maybe says a lot about how people choose what bike to buy in a shop...

I'm pasty and straight but heathen.

Hang on, I need to put on my David Cameron face for this... [i]I was talking to an indian immigrant the other day[/i], who told me that she's worked hard so that her son never has to ride a bike, and was really upset when he asked for one- where she's from, it marks you out as low status to be seen on a bike.

Obviously she thinks I'm a lunatic.

Best troll thread ever: daily mailisms, offending every possible group and plenty of opportunity to say "i'm not racist, but..."

Personally, i never see any blacks, gays or heathens cycling. I think this is because they can't balance and are afraid of tyres.

I wonder if that lad realises what an internet hit he's become? Surely he must? Poor sod. Got to feel sorry for him really, being that thick and ignorant. 🙁

Love the irony of him talking about wanting 'Britain to be back British', whilst wearing an adidas top probably made in India, ****stan, China, Vietnam or somewhere foreign....

My Wolf Ridge is known as 'Jordan' because 'she' is big, bouncy, ridiculously over engineered and bright bloody orange! 😆

P.S. Congrats on getting the nod from your PCT Rachel 🙂

I struggle with long sentences, but I'd like to say I like the way the UK is going in terms of multiculturalism, on a given day at work I'm there with people who identify themselves as Bangladeshi, Indian, philipino, maltese, English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, scouse, lancastrian, yorkshirian, Australian, French and Russian.

I love it, where else would you learn that kids in siberia get the day off school when the temp drops below -40?
The whole 'what about our British identity' thing that folk stressed about is cobblers, bring on a real united nations of the globe thing.

I am a leetle bit drunk as well...

Interesting thread, but the question of race in mtbing has come up before, as has the point about cycling being seen as a poor person's activity in India (and parts of Cardiff).

I never noticed how white MTBing was until I saw a black chap at Mayhem, and he stood out rather a lot.
