Jeans in the gym.
trying to look like something you're not (I.e security guards wearing stab vests with blue battenburg print, private ambulance companies dressing like local NHS ambulance service staff, anyone wearing combats tucked into the top of boots, school kids dressing "gangsta", old people dressing like they're teenagers, anything I wear.)
Skinny jeans, regardless of gender.
Having a really crap personalised number plate

The list is endless really -
Trousers halfway down your ar*e with your pants on display.
Baseball cap (done up too tight) perched on your head at a jaunty angle.
Tacky, oversized cheap gold jewelery (this goes for the ladies aswell)
Fat blokes on £XXXX carbon road bikes always make me laugh, particularly the one round my way (who must be 20 stone) on a Sky Team edition Dogma and full Sky kit (and I mean EVERYTHING - inc blue Jawbones)
Grown men wearing football shirts when out with wife/kids.
Matching bike and pro team kit.
sit up and beg type continental commuter bike and pro team kit.

Pockets overstuffed full of kit 'cos you're too cool for a seatpack/saddlebag.
Walking uphill, because you're too cool for a triple.
Pushing home, 'cos you're too cool to carry a pump/CO2.
Two abreast, inappropriately.
Slammed stem & a bad back.
Looking like you're in a race, when you're not.

Who the hell uses gels when you can have Jelly Babies or Malt Loaf?
People who judge others on internet forums.

Anyone who wears white clothes - except tshirts & shirts

Well, all the thin ones, anyway. 😀
Red trousers and wearing camo gear if you are not in the army
Anybody wearing combats/DPM style clothing.
Unless you're in the services you just look like a walt of the worst kind..

Wearing jeans so your @rse hangs out
What and people actually do that?!?!?Top button done up without a tie
Men who wear scarves, (unless they're on a polar-expedition) and most of what 'freeagent' says.

Cider with ice in it, in a pub. Watered down short measure?
Topless men in public urban environments. Saw a youth earlier today sauntering through town with his shirt off, but black gloves on... Yes mate, everyone is in awe of your masterful physique and homemade tattoos. A diet of Rustlers and Frosty Jacks sure does help to hone a buff body.
One I've noticed recently is zipped hoodies with the zip completely undone but the cords that come out of the hood tied in a little bow at the top. Odd. Also agree with skinny jeans, especially the ones that are skinny but with a low crotch - theses are the height of trouser ****ery.
Ok so what is wrong with Body warmers exactly or Gilets as they ar now known, functional and useful midlayer clothing, no? Also Salomon Shoes no differnt from Nike or anyoher brand of trainers, yes/no?
For the record, I don't like ponytails on men, they are for horses or girls, that is all. I do however envy an epic beard and plan to grow mine like this one day...

EDIT: and then mincing round the features...
Woolly hats and t shirts...
Short sleeved shirt and a tie
The WORST office attire ever
Dropping gel wrappers.
Correct, this is bulls**t
Infact, being anywhere near a gel if you're not in a race.
Whilst I would prefer not to eat energy gels where possible, it's unfortunately the only way to check that energy gel brand X is not going to induce some sort of diarrhetic episode mid-race is to test it out beforehand....
Top button done up without a tie
This drives me up the ****ing wall as well! I blame that Labrinth fella
We have a few like that! It's almost as bad as the ones who sew creases into their 'combat' green trousers 😆local NHS ambulance service staff, [s]anyone[/s] wearing combats tucked into the top of boots
Shorts with lily-white legs, capped off with socks and sandals.
Wearing t shirts from bands you have never heard of ie The Ramones.
I want to go up to someone wearing one and say "I will give you £50 if you can name me 3 albums they have recorded"
Trouble is with my luck they will manage it and I will be down £50 😆
Went to visit my daughter, on Monday, who has been seconded from "oop North" to run a store in the Bicester Designer Village............there were so many travesties that I can't even begin to list them..........OK, one, then - people who wear "fitted" garments..................that fitted someone 20yrs younger and 15kg lighter. 😯
Asking random strangers if they can name three albums released by the artist or band named on their tee shirt will probably out "bell end" said tee shirt wearers
Blokes wearing big wooly hats inside in the Gym ! With vest tops FFS...PS particulalry those stoopid ones that are really long and flop down at the back. Twonks
3/4 length pants, f00kin hate them, and flip flops(unless on the beach)
Anything brand bought from Sports Direct.
Wearing Full Face + goggles at [s]Stainburn[/s] any UK non DH trail centre.
There was a guy up there in an XC lid and googles yesterday. Can't comment on his prowess as a rider, but he did look a [i]little[/i] silly.
Apologies if it was you.....
Cider with ice in it, in a pub. Watered down short measure?
It comes bottled whenever i've had it, otherwise definitely.
No not me, i have occasionally gone with that combo for long descents (snowdon etc), but with aviator style googles, not DH type ones...

I could have done with those last Sunday in the Dales, riding into driving wind and freezing horizontal rain
Telling this chap he should pedal smoother 😉

I just work on the theory that I hate eveyone who is not an exact carbon copy of me..that way you never have to worry about the fact that others may choose to dress differently to you or do something that you personally don't like and can be a dick about..it's far easier than worrying about more important things in life. 😀
I used to think anyone who drinks anything referred to as a "craft beer" - until I tried one, now I am a bell end by my own standards 😳
Men of a certain age wearing glasses with transition lenses (usually rectangular lenses), large rucksacks and clumpy walking boots. You look like a pedo and you live with your mum.
This is like one of the drivi threads when the only purpose is to point out how awful everyone except the poster is.

What's a craft beer?
we're all bell ends for reading and writing this tosh
scholarsgate - MemberWhat's a craft beer?
It's just like real ale, but more expensive.
superdry or anything else with a stupid logo
trainers, or thinking that trainers are somehow smart
fat arse tight jeans
short sleeve shirt tucked in
long sleeve shirt tucked in but really baggy and not fitted
the 'top gear look' of scuffed pointy brown shoes, badly fitted jeans worn through at the heel and a sports jacket 1 size too small.
shiny suits.
dark shirts with ties.
football shirts
hoodies on over 20's unless worn as part of some activity/sports pursuit
hats with NY or LA on when you have never been there or dont support the lakers/jets/raiders etc.
Young blokes with beards. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Why are they considered rock'n'roll now? Can you imagine The Smiths with beards?! There should be a beard quota. And a minimum age. They should be reserved for blokes like me who can no longer grow hair on top of their heads and so decided to grow it somewhere else. Why do you want to look like a history teacher from 1973?!
As for collars done up but no tie, jeans displaying underpants (thank[b] God!), 3/4 length trousers...well it appears that everything becomes fashionable at some point. I'm waiting for tracksuit bottoms and formal shoes to come into vogue. Now that's a look!
Young blokes with beards. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
Good point, two of my best friends have beards, (both in early 30s). I keep asking them who told them the 'homeless bum' look is in...
with socks and sandals.
This has a valid use in that I know who to avoid without asking.
people who stand outside, in the rain, smoking
people who smoke
casual cyclists with team gear on
complaining about people looking like bell ends on an internet forum, and then spending the weekend squeezing overweight 30-something bodies into cycling gear, including iridium Oakelys and helmet mounted go pro, and mincing around carpet smooth trail centres on 6" fs bikes "with the lads".
Leggings on fat lasses that are so stretched they are see through.
Men who wear clothes that are far too young for them. A bloke who works in our office who is in his late thirties came to work on dress down day in dungarees...WTF.
I am full of win, some of you would be deeply offended if you saw me as I have now cropped up in about 3 people's bell endy list.
And I ride a Marin 😉
