Given the number of recent lifestylee posts on here and the alleged human desire for “fitting in” here are my personal infringments of the apparent STW Code of Practice 😉 :

1 – Own a BMW
2 – Own a Puffa style body warmer
3 – Have dogs
4 – Take dogs with me when riding bike
5 – Sometimes I flick dog poo into long grass instead of picking it up
6 – Wear Salomon trainers
7 – Overtake other cars, in a BMW
8 – Own a road bike
9 – Own roadie gear and sometimes wear it
10- Wear polo shirts
11- Sometimes wear the collar up on my polo shirt
12- Am Scottish and may not want Independence
13- Own a cat
14- Have no clue as where said cat does it’s poo
15- Dpn’t really care about spelling and grammer in posts

It’s good to share so what stupid stuff posted on here do you not conform too?

You missed attention seeker 😉

See that stuff behind the cooker ,that nobody wants to go near,that’s you that is.

HTH

🙂

Should have put this thread on the ‘bike’ forum.

Oasis fan? Lover of football too? …

Oooh loooook at meeeeeeee! 🙄

I’m not:

The owner of a five.
The owner of a car.
Middle aged.
A coffee drinker.
Unsure of what tires I need for a given trail/weather condition.
Confused by the C2W scheme.

Loathe football
Loathe Oasis (amongst others)
My car isn’t Audi (but has an Audi engine)

STW’s very own David Beckham

Golden Hubs perhaps ??

I bought an audi s-line to lug my bike around, i will never fit in on here haha.

I’m middle aged
I own a Marin. And I like it.
I have a steel hardtail
I work in an office
I love coffee
I also have cats.

Oh hell…I think I’ve become part of the establishment. 🙁

I think mountain biking is too easy, the bikes are ugly and the people that ride them tend to be fat, tattooed chavs that are desperate to belong to a scene.

I only visit this forum so I can mock them. 😉

I have Spokey Dokeys on all my bikes, pretty sure that breaches an unwritten rule. 😀

I thought all those things were what you needed to fit in on here.

Sometimes I even overtake other BMWs in my BMW !

I own one bicycle.
With 26″ wheels.
And gears.
That cost less than a grand.
Still has the original saddle.
I never change the tyres until they’re worn out.
I don’t know how much my bike weighs.
I don’t know the make of my wheels. Or gears. Or brakes.

Steady on! You’ll making out like you actually goout riding it next 😉

I sometimes double dip in my boyfriends Assos cream… he’ll never know… 😆 😉

“double dip”?? Define please before my imagination gets carried away… 😯

Double dip is self explanatory is it not? I suppose it’s not as bad as a random riding buddy doing it.

I wear skinny jeans.

Golden Hubs perhaps ??

😳 2 pairs….

2,3 and 12 apply to me

I sometimes double dip in my Assos cream and don’t tell my girlfriend…

I have a 4×4 (well more fun wheel drive than proper 4×4).

I sometimes have a wild poo whilst out on the trail.

3,4, 13 but unfortunately it’s so damned lazy I know 14 all too well

Will C2W ever end?

i was with you there until the saddle. Mine got nicked, otherwise I’d probably still have it though.

I’d say you fit in perfectly. Your post made no mention of mountain bikes.

12 for me…

Only one that applies to me is 6. Salomon Vegas FTW.

I don’t own a car.
I have a cat I want rid of.
I like polo shirts (not polo-neck-roll-ups)
I rent
I don’t have a log store
I have a Pace & an old Marin
I have no strong political leaning, I’ve never even voted

Loser eh? 🙂

Well, out of that list, I only register on one; I have a NF body warmer, but I bought it back before NF got discovered by the High Street!

Klumpy – I was with you right up to the last one. I do know what the oily bits are made of, so that when they get broken they can be replaced with better.

OP, No 12 explains all the other deficiencies.

Change that and all your other antisocial traits will disappear… 🙂

Fortunately my oily bits have writing on them that says what they are, so that I can replace them with the cheapest that the internet has to offer when they go. 😀
