SPRFLS is hating

a lot of mountainbikers have a BIG problem with other riders, roadies always. but now fixie kids have given them a whole new target to scream "gay!" at every opportunity.

is there something these men, with a penchant for getting very muddy and wearing armour, want to tell us?

I've done mtb, road, track and bmx and the bmx and track guys are the ones who bitch the least about other types of riding.

I pretty much got into cycling through mountainbiking but now class myself as a cyclist as I do a bit of everything. Was in Morzine last year and some MTBers attitude was so annoying. One girl basically had a go at us saying she wouldn't ride an XC bike as she would feel dirty, in a pub these people saw my brother wearing a cycling cap and said something about your just roadies and here to watch that (a stage of the Dauphine Libre finished in the town that day) as if it was a crime, found it a bit pathetic to be honest. I have to say I was against roadies when I was younger (I blame MBUK) but then I turned 13 and grew up!
