How STW are you?

I think we can add a few more to the usual list of Audi, Orange 5…

sling not a pushchair,
shop at farmers markets,
sex every other night,

Is this another product advert?

Only owned one orange hardtail which snapped no Audi tea drinker

The need for this…

sling not a pushchair,

Makes this unlikely…

sex every other night,

So far, I’m scoring 1/5 on this scale. 😕
So, ‘Not very’ is the answer. 🙂

Wood burning stove
Workshop with a wood burning stove
Wusthof/global knives
Those mega expensive razors
Teva links shoes

So much more…..

I don’t have all those btw! Just the one wood burner, none of the rest.

0/5

Is this another product advert?

😆

Is this another mispriced product advert?

I know what tyres I want on my bike
I don’t need a £300 knife to chop carrots
I don’t send monetary “gifts” to people I don’t know
I know how to use Google

I don’t fit in here at all ! 😉

I’ve missed the razors stuff.
I forgot the wood burner.

Audi
Border Terrier
Full Suspension “all-mountain” thingamajig & Road Bike
3 different slings (one heated)

I’m doing well.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I’ve recently gone over to a safety razor.

Brant – you also need to add a ‘**** coffee machine’

I will never own an Audi
I owned a Westie
I don’t own a singlespeed
I don’t own a 29’er (or plan to)
I don’t ride trail centres
I don’t have a log burner
I don’t own the latest bling yet I don’t own a nasty holier than thou shed of a bike.
I don’t own multiple bikes

I can talk to women.
I will ride with ANYONE to chew the cud.
I hate trail politics. Who cares if its right or wrong to ride footpaths.

So really I’m not ‘STW’

Oooo a heated sling…. time for some google action…

Daily Mail hater

Neal glover you’re spot on bar one thing…

….Like me; you don’t give two poops about conforming to such a load of superficial bollocks.

Silly silly people.

Owned multiple On-Ones
Have BB7’s on all my bikes and bang on aboutrecommend them a lot
No dog (but will have one on the future)
No wood burner (would quite like one though)
Shop at Waitrose
Had a 29r SS
Have a ‘retro’ SS

However, I make coffee in a cafetiere and drive a VW (ahem, T5)

😕

Considering I spend waste so much time on here I score pitifully low on the STW-o-meter!

Could we not have another catch all catagory?

Non Audi-driving, Non 5-riding, non dog-owning, non coffee-machine-using, non log-worrying, non-beardy, 26″ full suss, with gears riding … idle, workshy layabout 😀

I don’t use the word “content” in thread titles
Or append “trackworld” to random words in thread titles

I’m looking forward to the contenttrackworld thread that will be started soon 😉

You don’t have to have/be all these things. Isn’t the site more aspirational? Everyone wants to be a big hitter after all. 😉

Add flashy **** watch to the list, so:

Wood burner
Audi
Rolex/Omega/Breitling etc
Coffee fanatic
Orange Five
Works in IT
Can’t use Google

love all the people who define themselves by what they’re not 🙂

I tend to just be me and find that some of the things I have or do fit into some categories and some into others.

Mostly I’m ‘STW Material’ because I love bicycles.

Have we mentioned grammar and spelling pedantry yet?

love all the people who define themselves by what they’re not

So you have identified a group and defined yourself as not part of that group then ? 😉

skint, fat, grandad, no car, no fire, pisshead, 1 bike, no watch, mach3……..got a labby tho. 😆

I aspire to be a whiney middle class cock bag..

So you have identified a group and defined yourself as not part of that group then ?

I’m not not part of that group some of the time.

Read Guardian
Drink Tea (can’t stand coffee)
Don’t own a car
Have large workshop
Don’t have Wood Stove
Shop at Tesco (and quite like it)
Cheap Safety Razor
No Dog
Ride Ti HT SS
Also own an On-one
Sort of work in IT
Use £15 kitchen knives
Don’t own a watch

Isn’t the typical STW’er also supposed to earn big bucks like 50k+ 100k+???

Regardless – I’m out thank god

Not at all apart from that I do like singlespeeds and road bikes.

no watch
no audi
no fancy coffee maker
dont use a razor
dont work in IT
dont own an on-one
shop at tesco
enjoy the occasional costa/starbucks
dont read newpapers/online news sites
dont enjoy arguing online

but:

i own a bouncybike, singlespeed and a road bike.
i very rarely ride at the moment
i take it personally when people insult me online

so i’m more STW than i’d like to admit.

if you want to be on the inner inner circle of STW, surely most of the following boxes need to be ticked:

– live in Calderdale
– beard and/or weird specs
– attend bike events wearing a cowboy hat, possibly in leopard skin
– constant twitter exchanges with other members of the inner inner stw circle, never reply to those outside the inner circle
– often not that good on a bike and a bit fat
– massive ego
