1) My boss at work rides a road bike and he`s a tool!!!
2) Tight lycra, with no baggy shorts over the top ,on a 40yr old man, its just plain wrong.
3) They are so elitist with their "your not riding a £5000 lump of plastic with stupidly expensive components on so I`m going to pretend you don`t exist" attitude.
4) Their bikes look like they would snap in anything other than a gentle breeze with their tiny little tubes and ridiculously thin tyres.
5) They are so much fitter and faster than me ,it has to be the work of the :twisted:
Obviously Victoria Pendleton is not the spawn of the Satan, she just needs abit of guidance , I don`t mind trying to help her

1. They have very little tire choice. (That's why their tires can come in so many colours)
2. Can't walk in the shoes they have to wear.
3. Cannot use that awesome bit of trail on the way home because their bike limits them.
4. Turn up to MTB/events races & slow others down in singletrack
5. Not a spare f'ing tube amongst them
I don't hate them, I just pity them. A MTB can ride on the road but a road bike is useless on trail. They are just missing out on so much. Fine have a road bike but don’t not have a MTB bike. And not having a MTB is the work of Satan. For the enlightened amongst us it's a RETRO MTB!

Ooh, can I have a go?
1. They're way fitter than the average MTBer
2. They ride in sociable groups rather than sweating alone in the woods
3. The most famous cyclists are roadies. As are the most famous cycle races.
4. Most MTBers are talentless idiots*, whereas most roadies are genuine bike fans
5. Roadies are superior. MTBers look at roadies and hate them because of an inverted snobbery, or because they have an inferiority complex. Roadies don't look down on MTBers, even when they pass the sweaty, out-of-shape ones who only ride 150 miles a year on a creaky heap of rusting crap. However, the MTBer will look at the swift roadie and think "he looks gay", probably because they have a very limited vocabulary.
*based on 95% of MTBs being cheap Taiwanese crap sold to idiots with no cycling panache or skill
So, what do I win??
