Seems all the rage now

- last time everyone want a dslr cam and show off
- then everyone want to show off completing marathon
- now everyone want to show off riding bicycles all over malaysia and then brag about their expensive bike in instagram/fb

I wonder how long it last

Im also a cyclist - i bought my frame 10 years ago and for few years just do several few km every day but cannot tahan this new wave of 'cyclist'

But these social media cyclist love to put down ppl that cycle as a hobby like myself - bragging of their 'healthy lifestyle' but it look stupid when they still chug diabetes inducing sugary water, eat late night at mamak and then smoke ciggys

As long they have cycling insurance, they can use the road. If not, use the longkang.

Just.... let people enjoy themselves, explore new hobbies. If they can keep it up, good on them. If they can’t, why berate them? Just because you started your hobby early doesn’t mean that others cannot do the same.

Classic gatekeeping here

You beli moto pula . Upgrade to rempit.

trust me... the vicious cycle will continue.

Unker did you realize the world have changed?

Now sharing or bragging in social media is the norm.
No need to be so triggered.

I cant stand they look down on other old cyclist - thats all

i started 3 years ago. mana ada brag. casual rider aje.

Maybe im too old

I also brag in social media if i bought something rare or valuable - but i didnt put down on others that doesnt have

stationary xercise bike moar practical

can multitask catch up on movies while working out

You same like me then

I bought my bike when I was a kid, small BMX bike.

I cannot tahan people just 10 years ago bought bike ride also only not even reach 5 km bragging. Ptuih.




Bye

People are like that, they’re just dumb doing shit like this
It’s better if we just assume they don’t exist. No point making you upset

Stay away from social media

yela yela kau dah mula 10 years kau la lowkey pelopor kau la trendsetter and all of this shit

baru 10years dare complain about others, weaklings

you cannot afford, you duduk diam. You're not riding the same band wagon. :-)

Chill bro, me myself a cyclist too.. Have mtb and rb, let them be to brag.. Everyone hv their own preferences.

I also hate it when they talk about how expensive their frame was. But thats is life.. I enjoy with cycling fun.. Join fun ride, trail..

Dont hv any all social media to upload.. Care about urself only

I started cycling like more than 3 years ago... solve a lot of my health issues... finally loose lotsa weight... bought mtb and rb... since I 5 days in jb and 2 days in kajang... bought another mtb...

but 1.5 years ago, fell of my bike and hit road very hard... broke my wrist...stichest on my head... hand ... leg... until today still titanium plate and screws in my wrist... it is worth it...

Just few months ago feel bored with bike... so go back to gym... next month god willing biking and weighlifting....

I'll stick to running. No need spend thousands on equipment. Your course also no need to share with trailers and Alphards/Velfire/Myvi/Ketam

Kasi chance la. If not who will keep bike shop owners weathly.

My roadbike is collecting dust in the store room. Dunno when to start again.

where to buy second hand rb..
now i lenjan my uncle rb giant/nexus ...
but when i ride i do like to update insta on scenery stumbled upon ..

also it is a 'nice feeling' to angkat tgn when meet other cyclist on the road.. but those move in large grup and hog the whole jalan kg one.. mmg cb #bitter

Mine is not cheap mind you 🤭

But i dont waste time bragging and look down on ppl that cycle as a daily hobby

i also am a new-wave cyclist - since 2014. pakai foldie saja

and when the trend died down, we can get "used" rb cheap cheap... (in my dreams lol)

as long as you trail run. u run on-road same2 lah

I know a few collector...

One of them.... hahahahah, had the Pinarello F12.. very nice road bike.

I Foldie oso cukup.. cycle with my kids

i got one rb planning to let go, the frame still going strong. no major accident, whats ur budget by the way?

now?

TS ur now was probably 6 yrs late ohwaii

running is toughest. majority wont go this sports la

my friend say can round the peninsular in bicycle / other island country few times, run 21km only with me , dafuq i with injury and increased body weight also pawn him

another friend brag how pro is their badminton how long they can play etc, run 10 minutes give up / hike 20 minutes muka masam masam

Thus you see cycling and badminton are among the top insta worthy stuff now, as they are relatively easy to start lulz.

Cannot afford bling2 bike then don't butthurt lah

Their money, their freedom

Only complain when you are way faster than them by winning races, or else just shut up

I ride Kiara and kdcf with a cheapo rm3k hardtail je while joining those uncles riding rm15-20k carbon full sus, everyone also relax and chill only

TS sensitive like pepek

EXACTLY!

agreed and it is easy injure knee/kaki. i got colleague kaki marathon also injured kaki if they didn't watch out.

bike easier is when your body weight support by the bike so injury to knee seldom kena

overtake them with folding bike....

cyclist nowadays hand signal apa lanciao pun tak tau. sama level dengan rempit

What you are doing is called gatekeeping.

Look it up.

Anyway, I've been weightlifting for 10 years. Imagine how I feel about those that take selfies crowding in the already packed gym.

I've also been reading marvel ever since I was a kid, now there's casuals out there that think they know marvel in and out just because of the MCU.

When your hobby becomes mainstream, you're gonna resent it and that's normal.

OBike missed this phenomena.

They are even worst. No signal light, cikai helmet, no insurance , no side mirror and still dare to use main road.

Can, do it at downhill section with no brakes.............

Mesti laa kena share with the world to see

If not how to garner those likes shares n followers lulz

I see some just go for a ride few km only but there wear like pro, wearing Jersey and those pants that show off the didi size and shape.

Annoying cyclists cycling on the highway.

Go cycle at Taman Botani la!

Haha

As long don't do superman or no brake etc.

Niamah i saw before group of youngsters with those no brake riding, like his bapak mia jalan, tak kisah kereta lori apa semua. I was like shit you better don't cause accident and jam the road!

Not sure about cycling but my fb friends still stuck on marathon fad

Hnnnggghhh...

This abang boleh! azamunekurone

You mean the pretentious konon konon french endurance event?

Sorry just joking 😛 yep thats in my calendar

This year dont have time but im targeting brm300 once im free

What's the next trend for business opportunity.

This. If normal road ok lar. Hiway paling irritating punya

Actually i dont mind - more ppl better as nowadays more organizers and sponsors held all this road bike events

I just dont like their attitude in bragging and putting down the other cyclist just because we ONLY do few km

naah now everybody is showing off the mirrorless camera and the awesomeness of EVF vs prism viewfinder

go see girls instagram all put "fitness lover" "gym enthusiast"

Cycling increases the risk of prostate cancer.

those facebook cyclist..
they won't be long....
later all those bicycle collect dust at home...

I think this usually happens in road cycling groups....ive seen it with my own eyes already...

want to ride together? they see u up n down, wat u wearing, your bike, your car etc...if u not on their level, they ignore u

maybe not all, but some of them are like dat

that's why us in mountainbiking scene, whenever got newcomers, most of them are ex roadbike rider who kenot tahan those RB assholes perangai

middle age losers not married no kids otherwise one would not even consider taking up the activity

Post your bank statement on IG and shame the rude cyclist

machakasichancelah.jpg

Ini aku mau. coz abang polisi can block the road like i am VVIP. dam shiok

Give example please how they look down on you.
Screenshot etc

why wor, so bad

Machiam machiam butthurt lel.

At least people took the effort to come out and do physical activity. rather than fat shaming people, if you cant support/encourage, then just silently appreciate that they're conciously making effort to fix their body into something that you can tahan.

15 yrs been road cycling with various groups, tak pernah lagi jumpa this kinda of attitude.

Slow clap...

after cycling..

go home fap to reduce risk of prostate cancer..

sikit sikit cannot tahan

Yeap can agree with this

RB many asshole that like to compare dick sizes like how many kms covered this week, how light the bike is, how little rolling resistance certain bearing / wheelset, how fast is the top speed la bla bla bla

And if you are a slower/weaker rider in the group, chances are nobody will wait for you and they just continue sprinting away

Mtb people just joke with each other and guide/encourage newbies instead of laughing at them

No prostate , no cancer




Owai

All that for our middle-age syndrome men

TS few km every day very power

its useless to friend with roadies. they are more obsessed with the bike instead of the sport itself.

thats why i prefer mtb. the people are not as snobbish as roadies.

put slick tyres on my mtb, i bet i can outrun those fat roadies. it gives you more satisfaction knowing a 5k bike can outrun a 30k bike.

good for you...me on the other hand, sudah kena ini macam

somehow true lol...but then again, there some RB riders that rides mtb as well, n they admit, mtb community much nicer lol

RB is like golf la, some people do it for the sake of getting close with client/customers etc for business stuff

berapa nak bet

maybe your face problem lei

Cycling is the new golf Ohwai....
For those rich it's like spending water no limit

For me poorfag is just hobby lo...
I only return to road cycling like 2 years ago
Still using a Alu frame with Ultegra set
last time average 30kph
Now old slow down 25kph
Cannot keep up with youngster liso

It's great fun, test your patience and endurance. Go at own pace, so long as you complete within the time.

a lot of people i know still use alu with sora or 105, a lot of used bikes also

maybe u all have got rich friends or u all like rich friends but cannot spend like rich friends so now butt hurt

I ride bicycle to school

#trendsetter

I no butthurt oh
I love to see them buy high end stuff
At least I learn what money can buy lol

don't la say like most road cyclists are snobs, when we spend monies on our bike stuffs we feel the joy because its our passion. You je when see other ppl wearing expensive kits and bling bikes feel butt hurt

whats this have to do with dslr when main topik is about bicycle?

I ride old school single speed bicycle to school
My frens all using Raleigh MTB laugh kao me one...
But racing I still beat them la haha

no la, not pointing at you but a lot of butt hurt people here

i like that they buy high end stuff so their stuffs can go into used market, bike parts depreciate more than 50% wei

maybe deswai a lot of MTBers also switch to RB, because more used things to buy so maybe RB make them look like rich people

you have 30k bike?

most 30k bike i know become push bike whenever climbing hill.

you sure want to bet?

genting sempah laii.. i use mtb only.. lai lai
