Just been browsing the Leisure Lakes brochure and counted 20 different mountain biking genres before giving up. My favourites were “over mountain” and “big mountain”. You can even buy not just a freeride bike but a FULL ON freeride bike!

“Useless” – it’s quite a big group.

ambient jeycore lite

Mountain Cross Jey Core DH lite.

Post prog-rock electronica aggressive xc lite

Aggressive Commuter.

Triple black diamond, with a light dusting of old school but with a new skool tip, aggressive road riding unicyclist….

Post Lardcore

Messiah has found another popular genre on here…

This time of year it’s spending more time in the laundrette than on the hills!!

OG*fatboymincerlite

*old goth (therefore most rides will be stopped to look a ruined abbey to feel all melancholic do a little backwardsy/forwardsy dance whilst waving arms about and all bikes must be blacker than blackthing in a coal sack, preferably with skulls and “fields of the nephilim” sprayed on it somewhere)

failing that I quite like pink bikes with baskets and bells

I ride an Upside-Down Hill bike

*old goth …… all bikes must be blacker than blackthing in a coal sack, preferably with skulls and “fields of the nephilim” sprayed on it somewhere)

Hey, I’ve got a Nicolai just like that*, and a previous bike had “a slight case of overbombing” stencilled on the downtube.

Do I win?

* Obviously other than the FotN spraying. I mean, they were wannabe Goths, after all. All that pretend cowboy stuff. Pfft.

Do I win?

yep you can have a bag of mothballs and one of Patricia Morrison’s false eyelashes 😀

Overbiked STW Mincer or Mountainmashing Hero?

My genre is “riding bikes offroad”… I think that pretty much sums up what I like to do!

😉

‘Over Mountain’?

Over the hill more like.

I actually caught myself self-referring as a new skool/old skool mini dh cum all mountain enduro rider…

Depends on the bike though.
