[Closed] Mountain biker/Trail rider?

There is so much wrong with this post that I can't even be bothered to reply to your ridiculous question.

YOU'RE AWESOME!

Why would you call a mountain bike a mountain biker ?

What has steam got to do with it ?

What is known steam ?

As a troll the grammer is poor.

You ride the bike, not the trail.

I call trail centre folk ORRCs.

Off-road recreational cyclists.

it's like borat has written the post.

He raises a good point.

Stick to selling stuff.

I ride trails. Some of them have gone up mountains but most don't.

I know what the OP is getting at and ultimately I think most of us like the phrase and its attachment to us. I can't speak for others but in my case it's probably not very accurate.

the OP has a point most defiantly.

Still it's not the mountains

You're riding in the UK and claiming to be a MOUNTAIN biker? Lolz.

I have always liked VTT. And I think my first mountain bike was officially an ATB.

I find trying to explain to people what a

[i]"Bridleway, BOAT, RUPP & assorted cheeky trails" Bike[/i]

is causes endless confusion.

So I use a shorthand of 'Mountain Bike' which explains exactly what the bike is even if it doesn't cover where it's ridden.

Well, according to the various definitions of a mountain as per wikipedia; the hills in the peak district only fit into one out of four.
So, cyclesinmotion you're a trail rider.

I call myself a "radskillz riderz" cyclist person.

But then don't we all....

Velo tout terrain doesn't cut it either. Not much good on soft sand or deep snow are they?

There's a solution to that....

Apparently it's not about the bike.

I guess I am a trail rider as I live in East Anglia and we barely have hills let alone mountains. If anyone could donate one I would be very grateful

If only someone invented some sort of mountain bike that was 😉

(snow is weather not terrain!)

premier troll member?

he did say The Peaks weren't the m,mountains 🙄

Snow is terrain!

I am aware of such things, but most bikes labelled VTT are not fatbikes.

A trail rider is someone who rides their motorcycle on unsurfaced roads and has been for decades. A trail bike is the motorcycle used for such an event.
Just as an enduro is a motorcycle event that covers much ground with a timed reliabilty aspect as its main focus.
What we ride are ATB's

Off road cyclist or non-gimp cyclist should cover it.

Terrain is the ground, snow and ice sits on top of the terrain. So nyah.

Not atb, mtb; most terrain bicycles.

Whilst it is perhaps considered inappropriate to make a mountain out of a molehill, some of us less vertically endowed Off Road Riders do in fact have to do just that................ 😉

I rode yo mama last night.. what does that make me..?

Ha, i just had to explain to some yotties that a 100mm travel Halfords Boardman special is not actually regarded as a mountain bike these days, since the term Mountain Biker has since actually been redefined with the advent of Lifts going to the top of actual Mountains.

We don't have any mountains in this country. We have hills.

An Teallach disagrees with you.

That's a lovely hill. It's not a mountain.

🙄 right.

Land over 2000ft in the uk is classed as mountainous

Okay, I'm slightly kidding. But in Scotland at least, the old boys never called them mountains - mountains were what you got in the Alps - what we have in Scotland are hills.

It's a kind of reverse macho thing - you don't fall into the bothy saying "it's terrible weather out there on the mountain", you saunter in saying "it's a bit breezy on the hill today". 🙂

The bikes we ride (hard tail or full sus) are capable of riding up and down mountains, therefore they are mountain bikes. Regardless of where we ride them if we ride a mountain bike we are mountain bikers.

I've always thought off-road cycling is a much more appropriate description for what most do (including me), but I don't think I would lose any sleep over it

Gary Fischers shop was called: Mountain Bikes, no? And that moniker has stuck even though the bikes and riding styles have changed hugely, the aesthetic is more or less the same.

Never been to Skye then? Don't care how high they are, those are [i]mountains[/i]. And yes I've been to the Alps plenty.

Which is why everyone laughs at us.
Personally, I don't regard anything under 1000m as a mountain.
If folk are laughing at you I doubt it's got anything to do with the height of our mountains.

Indeed, but not many bikes on top the Cuillin ridge.

In Aviation, terrain over 3000'AMSL is termed "Mountainous"

[quote=bencooper ] you don't fall into the bothy saying "it's terrible weather out there on the mountain", you saunter in saying "it's a bit breezy on the hill today". Would that be the bothies cared for by the MOUNTAIN Bothy Association?
