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

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

Unker did you realize the world have changed?

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

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.

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

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
