Hello I’m new here. I’ve been lurking some time and enjoyed reading many of the posts. Some of which make me realise I’m not alone in my cycling thoughts.

Deep down I’m a bit of bike snob and there are certain things in the world of bikes, that my bike snobbery finds too much now and again.

? The sun comes out and so do the bike idiots. Riding their ill fitting bikes, dressed in the latest high street fashion with flip flops and sandals.
? People that pedal with their heels or the middle of their feet.
? Squeaky rusty chains (other peoples)
? Is a prerequisite of liking 29’ers and or a single speed being a stoner?
? Pushhhhing big gears. Change gear big man, no one’s impressed.
? When I’m on my road bike, mtb’ers that ignore a hello or a polite head nod (and vice versa)
? People that wear Rapha (other than the team riders)… bellends
? Recumbents WTF?
? Saddle too low, riding bow legged (with heels)
? Fixies, save ’em for the track.
? Super narrow bars. Wannabe couriers.
? Flats Vs Clips debate. There’s a time and a place for both.
? MTB’ers that ride road in their baggies. Get over it no one wants to look at your nuts in lycra.

As for the likes

? rides that flow; roads, single track, jumps.
? old timers. inspiring.
? couples on tandems. true love. inspiring.
? long road climbs. meditative.
? a dialled bike.
? dry rides.
? very wet rides.
? racing.
? riding alone
? riding with friends

So that’s a little hello from me. I’m off to lurk in the shadows.

? Is a prerequisite of liking 29’ers and or a single speed being a stoner?

You do realise this is the chat forum?

Contrary bleeder ain’t ya?

Now if they did, then I would wear the lycra.

*Waves at chipsngravy, and don simon*

Hello new here, I don’t think you are a snob, probably need to lose the ‘s’ for a ‘k’. Only joking 😆
Thats a lot if dislikes though. Chillax, feel the love.
Ps I ride I flip-flops!!! We wouldn’t get on 8)

*waves at emsz and emma82 and sticks two fingers up at the bike snob*
No one’s going to tell me what to wear on my bike.

Do you know what pishes me off… the thing that really gets my goat, boild my piss like nothing else…

People who put mayo on fish finger sandwiches. Idiots, fricking idiots.

Every-one knows its hienz on fish fingers. 🙄

Shhhhhh don, let’s form a group in the corner-you, me, emsz&tsy, we can ignore snobby an laugh at him like giggly girls <gets all excited-runs to corners an waits for everyone> 😈

Every-one knows its Heinz on fish fingers.

That only narrows it down to 57 varieties though?

I think I preferred it when you were just lurking…

like giggly girls

Steady on, I’ve got limits. 😀

Ketchup then, Mr Picky!

Oh, another thing that annoys, knickers up your bum when you run.

*joins Em82 in silly corner*

Steady on, I’ve got limits.

ok, you can be all smoldering an throw ‘knowing’ looks across at snobby pants like the jocks do to the nerds in crap american films…

A wee, tiny bit of grit in your shoe when you walk – you can wiggle it top the side / end, but then SPIKE, suddenly it hurts you right in the middle of the foot.
Then you have to stop and take shoes off.

emsz I’ve bought some new running shorts that are fine for running in but are absolutley bollocks rubbish for doing yoga in. I feel your pain.

Better, I think. 😀

? Pushhhhing big gears. Change gear big man, no one’s impressed.

Tell the truth, you are impressed but just haven’t got the manlegs to do it.

I’ve just realised that. It seems there aren’t many cyclists in the chat forum. 😉

Sorry chatterers, I’ll get my coat.

You want the “other place” we’re all too scared to go there. 😆

Sorry chatterers, I’ll get my coat.

So soon?

…but then we will never know who’s alter-ego you are!

*harumphs*

we’re all too scared interesting to go there

Chips ‘n gravy? Chips taste better with mayo, fact.

And old timers are dull to listen to.
