Think it depends if you’ve always cycled – in which case it’ll be anything from niche such as fat bike, monster cross etc.to a touring bike (and all the rack, panniers ,camping gear etc. :oops:) or really nice road bike
But I think the most amusing are the proper mid-life crisis ‘I’m gonna be a mountain biker.’ types. Havn’t been on a bike since they learnt to drive, but allof a sudden
‘mountain biking’smy life’
. Usually a full suss accompanied by the knee and elbow pads with full face helmet for a pootle round the local woods. They also seem to be really into getting there ‘weapons’ serviced on a regular basis -just find it all a bit amusing
