There are definitely different types of cyclists out there i see them everyday on the roads of London, and for a bit of fun i decided to create this quiz that you can test out right here on the Goodordering website, it just takes 2 mins and will hopefully ring true. Which one do you think you are, read below, then do the quiz after and see if you (and we) were right!
🚲 WHAT KIND OF CYCLIST ARE YOU?
1. Nervous Nancy 😬
White knuckles, death grip on the handlebars. Every passing bus feels like a near-death experience. Has never knowingly cycled outside a designated cycle lane.
2. No-Hands Harry 🙌
Cycles with no hands, eats a sandwich, checks his phone and adjusts his sunglasses. Thinks he’s in a music video.
3. Lycra Larry 🏁
Dressed for the Tour de France but actually just popping to Tesco. Owns £300 cycling shoes and talks about watts at dinner parties.
4. Lime Bike Lucy 🍋
Doesn’t own a bicycle. Doesn’t need to. Can find, unlock and abandon a Lime bike faster than you can say ‘parking restrictions’.
5. Sunday Sally 🌞
Only cycles when the sun is shining and brunch is involved. Has a beautiful wicker basket and absolutely nowhere important to be.
6. Strava Steve 📱
If it’s not on Strava, it didn’t happen. Turns the school run into a personal best attempt. Has never encountered a hill he didn’t want to conquer.
7. Cargo Bike Clara 👶
Transports three children, a Labrador, 12 bags of shopping and occasionally a small sofa. Has the carrying capacity of a Transit van.
8. Fair-Weather Fiona ☀️
Checks three weather apps before leaving the house. One cloud on the horizon and she’s getting the bus. Can detect a 4% chance of drizzle from two postcodes away.
9. Fixie Freddie 🧢
Rides a vintage steel-frame bicycle with one gear and questionable brakes. Believes that one year is sufficient. Lives in Hackney. Obviously.
10. E-Bike Eddie ⚡
Claims he’s getting plenty of exercise. Arrives everywhere looking suspiciously fresh. Smiles while overtaking Lycra Larry uphill.
11. Hi-Vis Hannah 🦺
Has more lights than a Christmas tree. Reflective everything. Even her socks have flashing LEDs. Safety first, fashion somewhere around 17th.
12. Bohemian Bob 🌻🐕
His bicycle is a travelling jumble sale. Flowers in the basket, dog in the front, wind chimes dangling from the handlebars and a mysterious collection of objects strapped to the back. Hasn’t bought anything new since 1997. Probably makes his own kombucha.
13. Coffee Stop Colin ☕
Owns a £2,000 bicycle but rarely cycles more than three miles without stopping for a flat white and an almond croissant.
14. Red-Light Ricky 🚦
Treats traffic lights as helpful suggestions rather than instructions. Has an excuse for every questionable manoeuvre.
15. All-Weather Andy 🌧️
Rain? Wind? Snow? Doesn’t care. Cycles 365 days a year. Thinks waterproof trousers are formalwear. Quietly judges anyone who takes the Tube.
