Anyone else seen the definition of singletrack on Urban Dictionary - [url= http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=singletrackworld ]Singletrackworld[/url]
A website populated by portly mid life crisis sufferers with delusions of gradeur, who think that riding around on an expensive push bike somehow makes up for their dull job in engineering or IT.
An online home for middle aged, middle/upper class, predominantly English xc jey boy mincers whose idea of mountain biking consists of grinding around the country side in brightly coloured lycra on titanium singlespeed rigid ego chariots.
Sound like anyone you know? Certainly nothing like me..

Fixed that for you. 😆
Nail on head, as is GT72.
pretty near the mark i think for most on here.
That's actually pretty funny, don't think its particularly accurate though
I can't find any fault with that!
funniest thing is how most posters would agree its pretty much spot on, but dont actually include themselves in the description.
I know its not me, I dont have an expensive bike or a titanium singlespeed... Wouldn't mind one or the other though.
What's dull about a job in IT?
All the hot chicks dig a man who knows the difference between Etherchannel and IEE 802.3ad - fact.
🙂
I find it amusing that the top definition on the website is written by a man named Chipps...
Now where have I seen that name before?
Sounds about right to me....
Yep I certainly am deluded
and have gradeur (whatever that is but I probably have it).

Hey! I'm not portly!
I actually think the second definition is more accurate:
The typical singtrackworld member can usually be spotted in trail centre carparks standing beside their Audi, loudly boasting about the three foot drop they "nailed" with ease thanks to their new £5000 6inch all mountain bike, or how they "smoked some downhillers" whilst riding their rigid on-one wearing a blindfold on the black route.Inwardly the average singletrackmember would love to posses more skills than the ability to negotiate a technical climb, in reality this means acquiring actual bike handling skills. To cover up their utter lack of ability on a bike they pour scorn on any style riding which isnt utterly boring.
Obviously that doesn't describe me as I'm *awesome*...
😆
Brilliant! 😀
my favorite bit......
"Hey john, where did you get that fancy new bike?" "Its actually not new at all, I bought it off some **** with more money than sense on singletrackworld. He clearly couldnt ride for toffee, just like the rest of those asshats"
Lol 🙂
Hmmm; not portly, middle aged, middle class or have a dull job nor a posh german car. So not true for all.

I get the feeling a real porker posted that one, couldn't keep up on the technical climbs, bike-handling skills limited to gnarly downhill let-go-of-the-brakes-and-hope style riding...
