The guy who looks great, has all the great new stuff, but can't ride too well. This person may be dangerous because he's always checking his reflection in windows. He wears white arm and leg warmers, and white booties, even on hot days. Often has his legs covered in oil

The older guy who rides fanstastic, but still has a 1989 eight-speed steel clunker, and refuses to buy new gear coz he thinks it's all crap.

The guy who thinks he's the "boss" of the ride, shouting orders at everyone.

The weird "uncool" looking guy with the really white legs, long black socks, wears undies under his bike knicks, but, worst of all, has his stem pointing upwards

The guy who thinks he's the 'safety' guy in group, usually staying right at or near the back, keeping watch over the whole bunch, shouting safety warnings, like "car back", "parked car", "lights ahead", etc

The guy who always says this is his first ride in 2 months, even though you see him every 2 weeks

The strong guy who always pulls attacks back to the bunch, but never has the confidence to go for 'victory' at the end.

The guy who keeps trying to smash the whole bunch on his own, yo-yoing off the front with crappy 500m attacks, keeps blowing up and gets reeled in after 20 seconds...but never gets the message that it's pointless, or that he should train harder.

The guy who goes passed the bunch at a good speed when the ride is over, trying to show everyone how good he could've done, had he had the opportunity, or simply 'felt' like it.

The guy who only looks at the wheel he's following, and nearly causes ten crashes

The guy who pretends he's only 'spinning', and that this is his 'easy' day, by catting to other riders, looking at the scenery, and pretending he's talking on his cell phone.

Then there's the newbie who always gets dropped after the first 2km, but shows up week after week to take his punishment
