Hahaha love this, your image perfectly sums up what a SWHLKLUBIFDARTW is, hell even a wanker bike from an outside perspective! I think from a non cyclist the look and ride of a sub wanker is in their mind so similar to what you can get off the shelf at decathlon that the lines do get merged. It’s the smaller details and care that’s gone into it that might not be at first noticeable that denoted a sub wanker imo.

Very validating, thanks. I feel so seen by this thread - in my head I ride a wanker bike because most of my friends ride btwins or raleigh/peugeot ghetto singlespeed beaters with (spits) pannier racks, that they'll happily leave outside a pub with a cable lock without breaking a sweat... They don't understand why I spent more on the saddle than I did on the original bike. But then the ones that ride CdFs and go on actually long rides at the weekends would probably think it's a pub bike 🤷♂️
I need to make one of those 'what my friends think I ride / what my parents think I ride / what I think I ride / what I actually ride' memesedit: fuck it got nothing better to do:
