One I've noticed recently is zipped hoodies with the zip completely undone but the cords that come out of the hood tied in a little bow at the top. Odd. Also agree with skinny jeans, especially the ones that are skinny but with a low crotch - theses are the height of trouser ****ery.

Ok so what is wrong with Body warmers exactly or Gilets as they ar now known, functional and useful midlayer clothing, no? Also Salomon Shoes no differnt from Nike or anyoher brand of trainers, yes/no?

For the record, I don't like ponytails on men, they are for horses or girls, that is all. I do however envy an epic beard and plan to grow mine like this one day...

Dropping gel wrappers.

Correct, this is bulls**t

Infact, being anywhere near a gel if you're not in a race.

Whilst I would prefer not to eat energy gels where possible, it's unfortunately the only way to check that energy gel brand X is not going to induce some sort of diarrhetic episode mid-race is to test it out beforehand....

Top button done up without a tie

This drives me up the ****ing wall as well! I blame that Labrinth fella

local NHS ambulance service staff, [s]anyone[/s] wearing combats tucked into the top of boots
We have a few like that! It's almost as bad as the ones who sew creases into their 'combat' green trousers 😆

Shorts with lily-white legs, capped off with socks and sandals.

Wearing t shirts from bands you have never heard of ie The Ramones.

I want to go up to someone wearing one and say "I will give you £50 if you can name me 3 albums they have recorded"

Trouble is with my luck they will manage it and I will be down £50 😆

Went to visit my daughter, on Monday, who has been seconded from "oop North" to run a store in the Bicester Designer Village............there were so many travesties that I can't even begin to list them..........OK, one, then - people who wear "fitted" garments..................that fitted someone 20yrs younger and 15kg lighter. 😯

Asking random strangers if they can name three albums released by the artist or band named on their tee shirt will probably out "bell end" said tee shirt wearers

There was a guy up there in an XC lid and googles yesterday. Can't comment on his prowess as a rider, but he did look a [i]little[/i] silly.

Apologies if it was you.....

It comes bottled whenever i've had it, otherwise definitely.

No not me, i have occasionally gone with that combo for long descents (snowdon etc), but with aviator style googles, not DH type ones...

I could have done with those last Sunday in the Dales, riding into driving wind and freezing horizontal rain

Topless men in public urban environments. Saw a youth earlier today sauntering through town with his shirt off, but black gloves on... Yes mate, everyone is in awe of your masterful physique and homemade tattoos. A diet of Rustlers and Frosty Jacks sure does help to hone a buff body.

I just work on the theory that I hate eveyone who is not an exact carbon copy of me..that way you never have to worry about the fact that others may choose to dress differently to you or do something that you personally don't like and can be a dick about..it's far easier than worrying about more important things in life. 😀

I used to think anyone who drinks anything referred to as a "craft beer" - until I tried one, now I am a bell end by my own standards 😳

Men of a certain age wearing glasses with transition lenses (usually rectangular lenses), large rucksacks and clumpy walking boots. You look like a pedo and you live with your mum.

This is like one of the drivi threads when the only purpose is to point out how awful everyone except the poster is.

Young blokes with beards. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Why are they considered rock'n'roll now? Can you imagine The Smiths with beards?! There should be a beard quota. And a minimum age. They should be reserved for blokes like me who can no longer grow hair on top of their heads and so decided to grow it somewhere else. Why do you want to look like a history teacher from 1973?!

As for collars done up but no tie, jeans displaying underpants (thank[b] God!), 3/4 length trousers...well it appears that everything becomes fashionable at some point. I'm waiting for tracksuit bottoms and formal shoes to come into vogue. Now that's a look!

Good point, two of my best friends have beards, (both in early 30s). I keep asking them who told them the 'homeless bum' look is in...

This has a valid use in that I know who to avoid without asking.

complaining about people looking like bell ends on an internet forum, and then spending the weekend squeezing overweight 30-something bodies into cycling gear, including iridium Oakelys and helmet mounted go pro, and mincing around carpet smooth trail centres on 6" fs bikes "with the lads".

Leggings on fat lasses that are so stretched they are see through.

Men who wear clothes that are far too young for them. A bloke who works in our office who is in his late thirties came to work on dress down day in dungarees...WTF.

I am full of win, some of you would be deeply offended if you saw me as I have now cropped up in about 3 people's bell endy list.

And I ride a Marin 😉

wearing camo gear if you are not in the army

I wear camo stuff all the time, it's just not [i]our[/i] army camo! And I wear combats, the loose fit and lots of pockets are a) very comfy, and b) very useful for carrying small stuff rather than using a bag. And some of the camo is on stuff like Fenchurch shorts. The big advantage is that it doesn't show mucky marks, and it's cheap, I recently got hold of a USAF Goretex parka, in a digital, light green/grey tigerstripe pattern, unworn, for £80, and it's a joy to wear, very soft and comfy.
I do refuse to wear DPM, basically 'cos I don't like the colours. And you do look a tit wearing it.
Oh, yes, just thought, the shirt buttoned right up, without a tie, might sometimes be a religious thing, certain groups, like the Plymouth Brethren don't allow the wearing of ties, I believe, and I'm certain there might be a couple of other cases.
But mostly it just looks daft. 😀

You've all missed it.

Driving a (insert new premium brand car, often a 4x4) while having your elbow on the door edge and holding you finger to your lips, as if you were deep in thought but you're actually just contemplating your own brilliance and how freaking attractive you are in your (insert premium brand of car).

Never seen a woman doing it!

Anyone who uses the word "trendy" on mountain bike forums shouldn't really be allowed to comment.

You probably know who you are.
