Seriously though, why can't we all just stop dissin other kinds of riding and just respect biking as a whole. All disciplines appeal to people differently.
Yeh, i respect all disciplines. But roadies tend to wear lycra etc which looks gay.
What you wear has little to do with your riding discipline! Sam Hill used to wear skinsuits/spandex racing DH, doesn't make it cool, or change the fact that it looks gay! Just as you can road cycle without Spandex! It's a riders' personal choice; and if you're questioning me on overtaking a roadie on my bike; firstly i've overtaken several on my stinky, and this particular encounter was on my Trek, in Richmond if that makes any difference. I do think the fact that he was French had something to do with his bitterness (sorry for the racism; but I speak from personal experience in saying that, though not all French people are bitter, just the majority of the ones I met!

What you wear often has quite a lot to do with your discipline. For example, when was the last time you saw an xc racer wearing a full face and goggles? And alot of dhers wore lycra for the champs etc. Of course it's a personal choice, but it's one that shouldn't be mocked by the immiature little pr*cks on this site (not sayin your'e one cos your'e clearly not lol). And i'm sure not all french riders are like this .
