Not closet anything, just a cyclist.

I ride Road, DH, DS and race BMX's. If I could I'd ride even more disciplines, really fancy doing some track sprints and a cyclo cross. Problem is that each one requires a new bike and they co$t monies.

does a touring bike count, or are we talking about pink one-piece lycra bodysuit, banana in the back pocket (+spare in the shorts), white shoes, look pedals, shaved legs, mullet etc. etc.?

Likely to fly off the handle at any vehicle who makes a slight error on the road.

Oh, and pink is only OK for details, like barends and chain tugs (Emilie excepted). Ask Object, he knows.

Me too, although it's not very closet. Is Tynan actually a mountainbiker? there's no end to the man's talents.

OK, if there are that many "cross-dressing" ass-piring milk-race-stage-winning types on here, what are you riding?

I build bikes, hang them on the wall, then sit a masterbate to them for hours.

Why ride when you can just masterbate, right?
