None of them really....mtb and road riding for me....I started riding to get fit...now do it for both fitness and because it ace!.....not a rad gnarly dooder type mtber though
Loved this bit"Mountain Bikers to do extremely irritating things like try to race Roadies who are simply out for a ride, which, if you're a Roadie, is sort of like being goaded by a hillbilly while you're browsing an art gallery.
yeah that was pretty unsurprising. i am part roadie zealot and part sockless heathen triathlete i'm afraid, technically i'm a dirty bikeless runner also as i compete in road running races too.
i have just kissed my guns and now i'm going to either get rained on outside or get very sweaty on the turbo.
It would seem (at least how I read it) that the writer considers himself to be an urban cyclist! almost sounds like he started with a moan about other "types" and then decided to make some money from it!

I am definetely a roadie, but at the moment I am cultivating a bit of a beard. Do I change categories ?
Cue arguments...
but by process of elimination:
my bike has only 2 wheels, (so not a contraption captain)
I am a petrol head (so hardly a righteous cyclist, although possibly cycling may compensate for clog footed motoring)
I have proper handle bars (and dont have the alarming sway of a tri-bar user in a pack)
I am male (so no beautiful female cyclist - not even in my friday night gear)
I have'nt had a satchel since school (disqualifies as a messenger)
stop for RED Lights (thats if i see one - so not an urban RLJ)
dont do mud (unlike the dark side who seem to regard mud as proudly as a campaign medal)

I'm clearly not a roadie.

Yes. A proper roadie knows when to conserve energy and then unleash full power at the right moment.
After reading some of your racing exploits I'd agree with you. You're not a roadie

Hmm...don't think the Daily Mail would be able to write a measured article like that.
Have to agree with the description of triathletes - Although i'd love to see the bowling idea come into force
Or perhaps a light-hearted bit of fun.
Maybe, as my comments were tongue in cheek to, just too subtle maybe: There's a fine line between amusement and mockery.
Personally I ride a bike, well several of them: a cyclist I think is the description.
