Bravado from Roadies.

[Will1985]

I'm wondering if 3-in-one does a sub 21min '10' on a borrowed road bike?

Haha - I completely forgot about that

I'd like to bet that a fair few members of this precious organ are roadies, mtb'ers and tourers depending on the weather, inclination, comapany and/or preference. I ride a road bike, tourer and hybrid (ok, not at the same time smart a**se!) depending on the route or fancy. I could not give a c**k whether I am overtaken, followed or drafted by anything or anyone. I go at my pace where and when I desire. Is that not one of the many attractions of cycling?

Absolutely, Gerry. That is the central core of cycling outside of racing.

I presently own six bikes of varying design -- three presently in use. One of them is an MTB that I mostly use when there's snow on the road. Each one invites a little different approach to riding.

The OT, I'm guessing with little experience, decided he's a stud on his MTB and thought the forum should know about it.

I might often be that "roadie" the OT passes ... as I plod along at the end of a 100 mile/2,000 metre day. What is Oilcan's average mileage/day, I wonder? And how about AVS?

I'm guessing, if he was on the roads around here (in the road race training centre of Canada) Oily is gonna get owned several times a day. Unless his boast is worth something and he can leave a peloton moving at 50 km/h (30 mph) in his dust.

If that's the case, I am not worthy.

Nice fleet you have there Randochap! How do you find the mirror the titanium bike?

Today I woz a mtbiker - well OK, me and the dog went down the local railway path and we were overtaken by loadsa people but...... I jumped the log he kept dropping, surely that counts?

I dont pay any attention to anyone that isnt a proepr rider on a proper fixed. People with geared bikes are all wimps, and dont know how to ride. They are normally slower then me aswell.

Im not a roadie though, i am my own little class, above roadies
Im sure 3-in-1 will be thinking he is above roadies aswell. I doubt this.

 

[Joe24]

Has to be said that this is a blatant attempt at winding people up, hijacking a thread by saying all people riding non fixed or wimps and generally speaking-being a cock

I didnt really mean it.
I dont see why 3-in-1 seems to be moaning about roadies though Ive read the whole post, and he just seems to be moaning about them, because one sat behind him. I think he has the wrong view of roadies.

 

[amnesia]

No he was at least 2 mins away from me untill a ferry stop and then he still never passed when we hit the ferry.[from a standstill next to me]

If you're in Dorset, then can I presume you're talking about the Sandbanks Ferry ?

If so, the roadie was very probably just taking in the glorious scenery instead of going hell for leather

Roadies aren't cocks.











Cocks are useful.

I,m soon to become a Roadie hopefully next year when i,ve saved up the money,At the moment I ride a MTB roughly about 50 miles every Sunday in Dorset[on the Road].

What pleases me more since I started cycling is to cycle at my pace and have a Roadie[like today] nearly up my ass yet for 7 miles cannot get near me or over take,this has happened a few times.........


ROAD V MTB you would think there would be NO contest as road bikes are for the job of roads yet a mere mtb can achieve the same.


Its all Road bike Bravado[bollocks] all because i,m on a slower bike[mtb]

3 you'll be real good on a roady bike: just get the position the same

All the best !
