I don't think I tick any of the boxes. Does that make completely niche and therefore the ultimate STWer?

Yes.

I used to live down south near the Surrey Hills - tick
Don't own a car now but have owned some VAG's in the past - tick
I only have one bike - cross
I have never been to France or Italy mountain biking - cross
I don't work in IT - cross
I don't have a coffee machine (is that the same as a kettle?) - cross
My apartment doesn't have a chimney so no log burner or fireplace even - cross
I don't like cats - cross

I only really come here to read the BS arguments, you don't get that kind of quality BS in the pubs here and I miss it.

Can't believe this thread is back. Ignored it the first time around...

I honestly don't reckon there's a STW stereotype. We like to think there is, as evidenced by the Wiki entry. But every time an emotive, heated thread gets going, it's obvious that every strand of life and opinion is here.

I'm just an ordinary bloke. I drink too much, walk a lot, cycle too little. I work in a creative business, my politics are slightly left-leaning, I have five bikes and a one year old child.

On the whole, I suppose, I might be that stereotype except I drive a Volvo.

Ton, but you're from Yorkshire. Isn't that some sort default acceptance criteria?
