    The current series of collectible minifigs includes a female rider and bike. Should be fairly easy to identify in the bag from the bike frame if you’re willing to fumble a few packets.

    Pink jersey and lipstick. Really??

    My first thought was that they’d captured the neon enduro pyjama trend pretty well but now that you’ve pointed out that its pink I’m genuinely outraged.

    Not just lipstick – mascara too

    Don’t be angry. Where I live most women who ride bikes (and there are a lot of them) wear coordinated clothing in purples and pinks and what have you. Matching goggles and shoes in some cases. I’m not kidding. Oh, and I regularly ride with a woman who rides in makeup.

    They are generally good riders, too. I shared a lift with a couple (as in romantically involved male and female combination) the lady was reassuring the dude that they’d only do the fun trails and nothing too difficult. In the next breath she told him that she’d be riding with her friends at the weekend and it would be too challenging for him. She was also dressed in coordinating girly colours.

    Why aren’t girls who ride allowed to wear such colours? Or are they? Do the the women who dress this way annoy other riders? Or is it assumed that they are being victimized? Perhaps one of the reasons more women don’t ride mtb in the UK is because there are so many mard arses involved in the pastime.

    no offence intended by the insult. It is a question I’ve genuinely pondered.

    I am not a troll

    Riding flats. Gloves and knee pads. Fatbike tyres and an XC stem.
    What’s not to love?
    I’m hoping that’s how Sam Hill will be dressing later this week for the season ending cliffhanger.

    Dunno, if you consider the shades it looks pretty era-appropriate. If the era is the early 90’s…

    (really annoyed I can’t find the picture I came across the other day, woman in a grey bathing suit and pink sunglasses just like those jumping an old bike. Might even have been in Cranked, Issue 4??)

    But yeah, what LAT said.

    I think its just grumpy Santa Cruz owners pissed off that Juliana get the better colours these days.

    Colourways pretty much invented by SunStar in Hawaii in the late 80s

    It’s not just SC. Lots of ladies bikes have better colours.

    Of course, only some of us can get away with pink.

    Did they have fatbikes in the early 90s?

    @jayx2a: That dude’s a girl too. No make up. Angry face or grinning face options. Full face helmet. No pink. She’s a total badass.

    Not seen that Lego bike version. Like the forks especially. Would be good to see a non-car tyre though.

    I picked up one of these sets whilst in the lego shop last and built some panniers/skateboard rack 😀

    Trumpton, i vaguely remember seeing that before.
    Also, look at the rest of it, T bone stem, xt thumbies, 3×7.

    Mmmm, xt thumbies.
    I’d buy those now, if they made modern ones.

    Nah, loads of fat bikes in late 80’s early 90’s had double rims. They were developed for the Iditabike.

    EDIT how about 3!

    It’s an MBS Clark-Kent, one of only 2 apparantly. But yeah, beach bikes later modified for Iditarod.

    Hmm.. I had a lego MTBer as my PC wallpaper about 10 years ago… Can’t for the life of me remember where that was from.

    without the pink and lipstick it would be difficult to identify that the rider is female.

    I think it actually quite OK – a hint of feminity added to a male stereotype, and maybe a disruption to a childs normal set of pink figures doing ‘girly’ stuff and blue doing macho stuff.

    Maybe not ideal but a progression towards ideal ?

    My mate doesn’t encourage or restrict his daughter in any manner, and she is already quite sporty at 5, but she still gravitates towards ‘girly’ stuff.

    Has anyone had any luck identifying this from packet fondling?
