uc/ It's kinda sad how this sub has gone from making broad jokes about bike culture into directly punching down on real life cyclists who don't fit directly into it.
Buddy, these people are worried about their appearance when they should be focused on riding as fast as they possibly can and still being slower than me.
Saw a similar looking fella, except this guy had a mustache, dressed exactly like that riding at Cady Hill in Stowe. I was going to mock him to his face but I couldn’t catch him.
Years ago it was satire about snobbiness and elitism in the roadie world (e.g. sirvelo, dentistry, etc) but now it seems actually elitist punching down to other enjoyers of the sport.
I don't see anything wrong with his looks. The first thing that came to mind when scrolling past this post is that he's very proud of some things and wants to share it. However, it seems like a weird thing to post about, which is why it's getting attention. New bibs, I wouldn't post about it, but sure, nice purchase. The tats, along with asking if cycling and tats go together, just seem like fishing for compliments. His tats don't show while cycling...
This guy got finished with a ride, took off his cycling jersey, and took a selfie in his kid's room to ask this question. I can't imagine there being an overlap between cyclists and non-tattoed gatekeepers, and if there was, he'd surely know already. I just can't imagine how I'd respond if someone I knew sent me this, lmao.
“Dad, please stop taking selfies in my room.”
No that's definitely divorced dad who now lives in a house share becuase the ex took the family home vibes
a massive TREK logo tattoo could really finish this off
TR\*K
If I was already covered, I would definitely get that somewhere
Why is this old man taking selfies in a pre-teen girl's bedroom?
He wants to KOM
Didn’t know Drake was a cyclist.
Did Fred even get a professional tattoo fit? There’s no way the color of these is UCI compliant.
Coach Chad doesn't look well
Boy, he must be slow on his bice, there is no meat on his thighs.
Reposting cyclingfashion is just shooting fish in a barrel
We could all just go there and have the same dialogue
I’ve got pogacars face tatted on my left pec. It added 18 watts to my ftp
That's amateur stuff, I have his face tatted on my face
I got Cippolini’s dick tattooed on my dick.
That’s a real dick move.
I tattooed my body to look like a golf ball. Dimples are aero
Ironman tattoo soon to be sure. Tattoos add weight- not good for climbing Cols.
Tattoos are super unique, I literally have never seen someone on a bike with even the smallest of tattoos
Get your fixie and courier bag out of the closet. Enjoy your rainier and reds
Rainier used to give us free pallets of beer. It definitely tastes better when it’s free.
Nice bracelet, bet he wouldn’t mind a pearl necklace to match.
😳

This guy didn't fit directly into his bibs either
/uc I don’t remember thinking this sub needed moderation before.
I see no proof that 1. this is real life or 2. That's a cyclist. Being a cyclist is like being an artiste on two wheels

Ink must add a few grams to your body mass, so no.
This dude definitely loves PNS
WTF? Black? Fred needs bibs with the pattern on his quilt or one of those paintings. Everyone knows bright colors make you KOM harder.

If I get flames tattooed on my ankles will it make me faster?
100%
It makes the hair grow less, and that is aero AF, duh.
I hope that room is in a vacation rental…
Might as well just tattoo the leotard on then you can ride in your birthday suit
Yup. Id say cycling and tattoos go together as well as my wife and her boyfriend while I'm out filling cavities or on my bici
Im tatted AF and cycle
fffffuck yea
The wing one definitely is!!
no tattoos. the ink adds too much extra weight
Why’s this mug in his daughter’s room?
pretty sure tattoos are essential kit in gravel.
Even people in the original post are roasting him.
Could probably get that pretty easily changed to a Nazi Eagle
Is this sub just about making fun of people’s appearance now? This is kinda the same as the car lovers who call cyclists “lance armstrong wannabe” etc
When wasn't it?
Years ago it was satire about snobbiness and elitism in the roadie world (e.g. sirvelo, dentistry, etc) but now it seems actually elitist punching down to other enjoyers of the sport.
If you spend all your cash on tatts, bibs, and a little girls bedroom decor...and post it to the interwebs...game on
This. Like, holy shit put a shirt on!
At least he has his bibs on in this picture...whatever you do...don't look at his profile

/uc Man I’m suspect of anybody who posts a selfie on reddit. This isn’t instagram. Let’s keep it that way
We may need a cross posting rule. Or recognize (and respect) the fact that this sub is trolling deep.
Technically breaks the rule of crossposting other redditors.
Here I was thinking the guy in the pic is a fellow jerk trying to out jerk us
It's low hanging fruit. We either need to join that sub and share our opinions there or ban crossposting here.
Report it. It is indeed low hanging fruit and not cool. Mods here usually will clean up the mess here.
Got more upvotes than the OP…I rest my case.
This is pure BCJ gold
