Whats yours?
I’m not really sure about mine, what do you think?
I’ve got a Skoda Octavia. About as stereotypical as you can get.
I've got a bicycle.
I'm a cock.

I know everything and more.
Middle-aged, middle-class whiny cocklobsters . all of us
I have to say Kryton,hand on heart,you are a one of 😉
Had a T5, and an Audi, and probably about to buy another..
Don't work in IT and do ride my bikes so I guess they cancel themselves out..
Where does that leave me
Single speed rigid fat bike, a CX bike with slick tyres, and a waist size bigger than wheel diameter.

I think when we did this last time I came out quite well... At the time I:
- had owned a Skoda Octavia but now owned a T5
- had an Orange Five, a singlespeed and a CX bike
- worked in IT
- had two log burners
- had a beard
I think the only thing letting me down at the time was that I couldn't give a flying **** about what you call your fancy coffee.
I now can't really give a flying **** about riding bikes much, still have an Orange, still have a T5, still work in IT with a beard but only have 1 log burner.
Pseudo STW me.

Oh dear, two out of eight, not doing as well as I thought. 😫
(I’ve got two On-One’s, and own a couple of axes. But no coffee grindr)
I’ve got a big VAG
Work in it.

Me
No car, plenty of bikes all old and secondhand and unfasionable ( bar one) Healthcare worker. IT skills of a treestump so no STW points there at all but most importantly I am a middleaged middleclass shouty cocklobster so grab some STW points back
I have to say Kryton,hand on heart,you are a one of
Yup. I'm the only sane one... Etc.
Can we have a checklist / points structure to score against please. Dispite spending too much time on here I don't know the stereo types.
Wood burners✔️
German estate car✔️
Rigid SS✔️
Owns a gravel bike (for commuting)✔️
Owns a Cotic✔️
Owned a On One✔️
Likes a whisky✔️
However:
Not middle class❌
Shite with grammar❌
Not in IT❌
Never built a shed❌
German estate car makes you middle class surely?
Posh razors suffice for STW stereotype?
don't actually ride a mountain bike.
although...
Don't own a german car (clio)
don't work in IT
I believe the earth is flat. And I shout abuse at cyclists from the passenger seat of a transit van.

T6
Nearly 50
Too many bikes (now including an ebike)
2 log burners, big wood pile (but never used)
was in IT (but retired)
cant spell
but do ride a good bit.
Bought one of these today:
ZWILLING 10" Chef's knife with deep upturn at tip.
Bloody lovely chopping action in the hand. The concave taper at the hilt makes for a really comfortable and positive grip.
Can't wait to show it the Japanese water stones to refine the bevel, and give it a proper hone.
£86 well spent, I reckon, given that I do 90% of the household cooking.
(Obviously, it would be nice to say that I posted that satirically . . . but I didn't. I did buy one, and it's ****ing awesome.)
Middle class, middle aged, work in IT, rarely ride my bikes* though I do own lots of them, opinionated, like beer and whisky, had an awesome beard but shaved it off a few weeks ago
er, I think this is also an STW stereotype: separating from my kids' mum
Don't own a logburner (not even in the house I'm moving out of), don't have a VAG car, not into coffee
*I'm assuming that riding unicycles a lot doesn't prevent me scoring that one?
Drive a Skoda Octavia estate (1.4 TFSI for a bit of fun as I'm a driving God, diesel's too polluting and VRS is a bit unnecessary)
Owned several Santa Cruz and Specialized.
Now gone for a smaller British brand.
Like nice coffee.
Really like whisky.
Own a rescue dog.
Lib Dem supporter / Guardian reader.
Work in IT (kind of).
Not allowed a beard otherwise I'd be tempted.
No log burner but I do have a larder with motion sensing lights (oh yes!)
Rarely ride my bike...
"Octavia" - pfft, amateurs!
I've got an Octavia I bought off another STW'er from an ad on here.
Do you know nothing? To score extra points for being bought on here it has to be a Volvo.
I fit winter tyres. 😎
I’m nearly 50, have lots of bikes (including a Cotic) and ride them! I love decent coffee.
On the other hand.... no German car, no logburner, no IT skills.
Sometime back I had nearly a full score card on STW poster-boy possessions. My off-road bikes are now so old they probably qualify as niche.
Late 40's
Drive an Alfa 159 Sportwagon
Rides a Santa Cruz
Hardly riding currently
Spends too much time on the net
No attributable skill
God I am boring...... Which also fits here 🙂
