Went for a ride and road past a family out for a walk, one of the kids turned round ans said to his dad'

Daddy that man has a better bike than you it's doesn't look like a girls bike'

to which he replied

'Mine is a hybrid bike son for the road'

His son then went

'It's for girls'


I never laughed so hard in my life I almost fell off, made the rest of the ride so much more fun I tell ya lol. I don't think he appreciated me ripping down the hill looking like I'd just won the lottery.


Ahhhh well that made my day :-D
I use all 9 inches.

    Boys always rebel against their dad's - I'd have clipped his ear and stopped his pocket money for a month.

    hybrids are completely overbiked for cycling on the road though

    No, they're just road bikes for people who don't want drops and want to go off kerbs now and then lol

    ^ I declare quote of the month
    Everything in moderation ... except beer
    Beer in moderation ... is a waste of beer

    If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
    then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
    ... or being punched by it, depending on the day

    One of those, but in black, and I think he'd lowered the bars and added a few blingy parts to make it look nicer. Better looking saddle too.
