The official Retrobike riding styles thread

[Bike Hoarder]

Usually baggies, with lycra underneath... Not bashful, just don't want to offend anyone!!

In terms of riding style? Where's the just get out and ride? Singletrack is my fave, smooth and flowing. Although i like steep drops (not jumps, God gave me wheels to be on the ground!), fast fire roads, and tootling round the village! I'm happy just to be away from computers and phones ie; no one can bug me.

Oh, and definately CAKE!

Overalls and Autosol for me and an early sunday morning ride in baggies if I get up in time.

At the risk of getting boo'd off the forum, It's got to be trails centres for me... primarily Wales(Afan, Llandegla, etc..) , but just got back from riding 3 of the 7 stanes in Scotland... I hate trying to navigate, I always get lost, and the quality of the trails available is awesome.. Red routes with a touch of the Black to spice things up.. I tend to shy away from scary looking northshore(anything over a meter high with and less then 30cm wide) and big drops but don't mind a few small doubles and table tops..

So in conslusion I'm a trail rider that wears baggies with lycra under crackers and T-shirts... flatties and skate trainers.. and sadly more often then not I ride my modern full susser! :roll:

Much like everyone else here I ride or in the past have ridden a wee bit of most of those things. I wear baggies with lycra tops, freeride jerseys with long socks, a dirt jump helmet with banana's in my back pocket or for that matter whatever the hell else I want to wear as I'm old, stupit and ugly enough to do whatever I please.

Riding, I dont ride, I just surf Retrobike and polish my garage queen!

and it is the truth

I haven't ridden for ages, but I am abut to get back into it.

For me it was always pushing hard cross country in lycra with shaved legs!

I wear baggie short & loose top for MTB rides and lycra shorts & tight top for road bike rides, just feels right. I always use my Camelbak though.

It's the only way.

Baggies on a road bike is even worse than lycra on those that shouldn't.
