Hmmm, I participate in a local Canada east coast forum (http://www.ecmtb.com/forum/) that's made up mostly of mountain bikers. The downhillers and freestylers are pretty...rude to each other...maybe because they're kids.....?

Perhaps the XC riders are nicer to each other.

You know I've been on many group rides with other roadies, no one seems unfriendly to me.

Although I have to say that on one organized 3-day group ride, some other rider picked up my touring bike, grunted and made a big dramatic production and asked me if I carried rocks around in that saddle bag. :rolleyes: It's an old '85 steel touring bike.

spandex please
 

why classify it..what if you ride a fixie can you still be a roadie

Help! I've got a road bike, a hybrid, and a cross bike that I've used on mountain trails. So am I a ro-hy-cro-mo? Or a cro-ro-mo-hy? Or maybe a hy-mo-ro-cro?

:cry:THIS IS SERIOUS! My god, what should I call myself? What is my true identity? Who am I?:eek::eek::eek:

Seek medical help immediately! It's not too late yet, I'm sure we'll classify you as something, hold on, you're not alone.

Can ANYONE help this poor cyclist? Is there a doctor in the house?

P.s. breathe into a paper bag until we figure you out.
