That person is neither a true roadie nor a cyclist. That's a person on a bike.

Excellent point.
So what about someone with hairy legs, a team jersey and baggy shorts riding on the left side of the road without a helmet on a Bikes Direct Campy-equipped bike with a triple and spoke cards?
Are they a true shill? Poser on a bike? OCP hipster? Fred on a bike? Queen of Latvia? What??

If they are riding at night without lights they are called 'Road Grime'...
otherwise they are called a spoiled 12 year old...

Never having fun on a bicycle is a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for True Roadiehood. Others include a near-religious belief in the need for cycling-specific clothing and a strong disinclination to ride one's bicycle to the beginning (or from the end) of a bicycle ride.
Also, if for six or more out of the last ten bicycle rides you took you can remember your average pace, average RPM, and heart rate, but can remember nothing of the scenery, you are almost certainly a True Roadie.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Do you have a book out on True Roadies and their mating habits? I'm the type who'd prefer to read in private in lieu of asking a ton of questions publicly. Also, have you studied migration habits for geese? I've really wanted to learn all about that too. :)

No. But I suspect that true roadie mating habits, like true roadie riding habits, only take place on weekends and involve a lot of standing around in parking lots and secretly wondering whether to upgrade one's equipment.

Paraphrasing a man so much wiser than myself:
"One of the less attractive elements of human nature is the urge to create artificial hierarchies and conveniently install ourselves at the top of them. I have fun cycling, and you don't (I can just tell). I'm a real cyclist, you're just someone fixated on lyrca. I'm a messenger, you're a hipster. I'm fixated with labeling and generalizing, even while accusing you of the same. In most corners of society this sort of behavior is regarded as vulgar and not at all nice, but for some reason, a good number of cyclists ("real" and otherwise) feel perfectly free to engage in it. No doubt the maturation of the frontal lobe is involved in this somehow."

:lol: I for one like the whole "upgrading of one's equipment" myself. Perhaps I really am a true roadie. :p

Incorrect! We would be pondering what kind of energy drink would be required for the upcoming performance.

I get unsolicited e-mail about upgrading my equipment all the time but I don't trust the sellers. However if PBK or Performance had a sale on upgrades I'd be all over it.

If one of the hot single men on here was upgrading his equipment, I'd be all over it too...at PBK or Performance, of course, keeping with the cycling theme and all.
