Excuse me? I'm a mtn biker & i think it's roadies that have the anti-camelback attitude thank you very much! Roadies make fun of mtn bike baggy clothes etc.

Roadies think they rule the planet...

*harumph*

Excuse me whilst I go and drool over some singletrack.

Now see, I'm a roadie, a mountain biker and a triathlete as well, so everybody gets to make fun of me!

Or is it that I get to make fun of everybody else??

I do wear a visor on my helmets. But I don't wear a camelbak on my roadie. I do wear a camelbak on the mtb. I do wear lycra for everything (although some would wish I didn't). I sometimes wear full-fingered gloves on the roadie!

I do have a tiara cable-tied to the top of both my helmets, although I broke one (helmet and tiara) the other week when I took a swan-dive onto the road after a collision with another direction-challenged cyclist! I do wear seasonal jerseys (Easter Bunny and Santa Claus) in triathlons. I love jerseys that poke fun.

I think everybody suspects I don't take "the rules" very seriously. I suspect we only make up the rules for a bit of fun at each other's expense. I've got enough amunition to poke fun at myself all day!

I'm a mountain biker too, BUT... I have NEVER met with an anti-camelback, down on baggy mountain biker cloths, rule the planet roadie in person. Mountain bikers really seem to love to beef up that stereotype though. You just proved my point....
