Purist or Poser?

[Crash Gordon]

So am I a poser if I ride a single speed with a camelback?

Whenever I see someone riding with a saddle bag the first word that comes to mind is..... Pfffffff "rookie"!

Live and let live bro. Just go and ride your bike. That is what it is about after all

I like gadgets, last time I rode I had 3 computers (1 on the stem, 1 on the handle bar and 1 on my wrist), a saddle bag under my saddle and my iPhone in my pocket.

Hi all.....I am a poser.......especially when a hot female cyclist pass me as if I am standing still......asem in, bors uit, friendly smile and greet......hold the pose......and then return to that dark and lonely suffering universe, slumped over the bar, sucking air.

Professionally ?

 

No I'm kidding. Excluding riding as kid, I purchased my first decent bike with a saddle bag in 2008.

 

I like my bike with that clean stock look. No funny bags, mud guards or any other fancy pants stuff : )

 

Im kind of like this guy :

Just wondering cos I've been riding since the mid 90s and I still have a saddle bag...so I must still be a noob!..or does that only apply to roadies?

Cool topic

Carbon and all the bling-bling

My pleasure

 

Who cares?

Ride your bike... LOTS. Where you want it.

 

Although wouldn't mind an ol vanilla coloured classic parked in the corner of my garage for those Sunday coffee rides.

 

 

I am over the carbon phase, way over it.

I dislike a computer on my bars because if I see how for I still have to go I get miff. I use Strava cause I ride the spruit often. I ride ss cause I can't afford to maintain a ds geared bike. When I ride I totally dig it. I like guys/girls riding their bikes.

I highly recommend getting a life.
