roadies v commuters v MTBers

Chip \'oyler

It's a waste of time arguing amongst yourselves. Cos you're all nobheads.

Including me.

Stewie Griffin

Yes but us occasional commuting roadies are superior nobheads 8) .

I'm a commutingroadiemountainbikerI used to be a mountibikingcommuterroadie but I've pretty much knocked the MTBing on the head because I love the feel of chamois cream on my intimate parts 8)

You`d have to be a knobhead to misspell knobhead.

None of us are knobheads.

Except for 'fixie' hipsters.

They take being a knobhead to unparalleled heights.

Nope, a bike ride isn't enough. Thats why I run, swim, play squash, tennis, snowboard and shoot. Is there a problem Mr. Elitist?

Yes there is. That innate smugness when 'multisport' athletes drop in to any conversation what sports and triathlons they are doing...

Especially when they start mentioning Ironman. Then it becomes like tourettes.

Makes me cringe.

Well instead of cringing, you could listen to the training regimes that multisport athletes have developed and learn from them.
Cyclists are always being negative toward triathletes but you should consider this, Armstrong was only quite a good triathlete but the best cyclist in the world.

I can assure you that is one of the last things I would ever be doing

Surely that makes you a septathlete so you shouldn't be worried about being tarred with the triathlete brush.

Which order do you do them in?...Would think the transition from swimming to squash would be a bit risky

I don't know how you find the time for them all, I'm only 'allowed out' three or maybe four times a week if I've been good.

I get allowed out more if I have been bad, very bad

Sorry, I retract the elitist comment. I found out the shutter speed of the photographers camera and you still weren't even a blur! God how slow.
