1 - How many of you actually believe that camel backs are truly a good investment ?
Don't use one for cycling (have my bottles on the frame) - however I do use platypuses (same difference) when hillwalking, for which they are immensely useful.
2 - does spending x amount on a brand model make you feel any better
No
3 - Do you always take spare tubes and a repair kit at all times
Yes on road/TT bike, no on the Brompton
4 - What do you regard as very good value for money when it comes to bike lights
Don't know
5 - Do you listen to you ipad when cycling on roads / cycle tracks
No
6 - do you make a habit of sprinting whilst out on the bike even though there is no point .. because you all the time in the world to get where your going
Ah, but there is a different point to working hard when out on the bike - you get fitter and faster .
7 - Cycling tops do you believe they are a waste of money and a simple tshirt is just as effective
No, a cycling top has useful pockets in it.
8 - how many of you are members of cycling clubs
not a cycling club, but I am a member of a triathlon club
9 - do you believe it's cringworthy of other cyclists posting videos of their cycle to work
No, I think it is useful and interesting
10 - How many times have you been out for a cycle and a fellow cyclist has offerd you a drink ..
Don't know - but it is usually my boyfriend's drink I am pinching
11 - Have you ever run out of water / juice and knocked on a door whilst out in the countryside and asked for water ..
No
12 - whilst out have you ever noticed how some cyclists seem to think their in the TDF whilst hammering it along a cycle track
I do think that some cyclists take some of our local cycle tracks too fast for the conditions.
13 - do you honestly believe that wearing all the gear makes you feel the part or any better or because you have feel you need to fit in with your fellow cyclists when out for a group ride ... and would they shun you if you appeared wearing jeans and a tshirt
I wear kit that is appropriate for the sort of cycling that I'm doing - when I'm on my way to work on the Brompton I wear office clothes, but I wouldn't wear that when I am heading out for a 2 hour training ride!
