DJR Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Well, I am the toughest! And NOBODY can pigeonhole me because I took precautions! Last year I did a dual slalom race, an all mountain race, a cross country/marathon race, a road race and a 3-day stage race. O yes, I ride a road bike, a mountain bike and a tandem and I sometimes commute. I wear lycra and baggies with equal ease. I have a skate lid, a mtb and a road helmet. I only need to do unicycle, track and fixie also this year...... Oh ****, now that I think about it, I'll have to do a BMX race and some dirt jumping, eina!..... Edited January 24, 2012 by DJR

Velouria Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 The answer is easy, of course the freerider/DHer is tougher. Hands down. I'd like to see a lycra clad XC'er take on a road gap jump, or a 10 foot drop off.I'll take a road gap jump any day, or a ten foot drop off if that is what defines tough. No guarantees that I'll be able to pull off the landing and I'll probably leave the scene in an ambulance. (Tough is suddenly sounding like a mental illness) Some of the toughest rides I've ever done have been from stop sign to stop sign. Against mates. In lycra. On a road bike. The taste of vomit in the back of your mouth is worth it for a week's worth of bragging rights!
SwissVan Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Well, I'd like World peace and a stamp with my face on it. Only the second part has come true thus far. Yes, I'm a roadie. Uh uh now your lying, pointless discussing / argueing anything with liars.Like troempie said to boesman the brak Voetsek! Edited January 24, 2012 by SwissVan
Mojoman Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 This thread is like the ANC leadership.In the fight between Road vs MTB, all MTB disciplines stand together against roadies....but within themselves they fight about which is the hardest.aaahh, but who is the Juju of cycling then....?!
Tiny K Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 The lycra clan might lose (if they are roadies) as the will start fighting with each other about who is fitter, faster, and dont forget heart rate Don't forget the power meter readings :clap:
Guest Omega Man Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 aaahh, but who is the Juju of cycling then....?!That's easy. Enrico Rossi.
Wyatt Earp Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 Don't forget the power meter readings :clap: Ja ,but if they punch and kick at a high cadence ,I foresee some problems for the rest.

There is nothing wrong with Lycra...... as long as it is not white!
jimmy hardtail Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Does tasting your own puke make you tough then? What about picking the gravel out of your knees and elbows? Or strapping your own broken wrist cos you don't have medical aid and government hospitals are, well... I guess we are all tough in our own way.

BikeBailing Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 He ain't crying he just still had a piece of fence in his eye! This aggrevaited his optic nerve and caused his eyes to water! Unfortunately, this happened right as he walked on stage...

Was speaking to a dude, he pedals one of those ice cream carts and puts money aside for his studies.This oke rides this thing everywhere, through rain, sun, winter etc ... He also works another job at a factory in Germiston, rides there and back all the time.So yeah, we're all 'tough' in our own way but I reckon this chap would **** us all up!Something to keep in mind when we're all riding for fun and thinking up crap about what other folk wear.
