Your bike can say a lot about your personality

Everything we own says something about us, from our clothes to our music to our methods of transportation. A car is not just a car, and a bike is not just a bike. The type of bike you choose to ride can say a lot about your personality. So what does your bike say about you?

Your bike can say a lot about your personality

Pink Cruiser

Whilst shopping for a bike, the top qualities you searched for were: how pink it was, how adorable it was, and also how well it matched as many of your outfits as possible. Maybe someday you even imagine carrying a small dog in the basket with you, or maybe some nice flowers.

Magna/other thrift store bike

You’ve heard that bikes are convenient for getting around campus, so you decided to get one yourself. You’re not quite sure what the gears do, or how to make the seat go up any higher, but... Actually, most of the time, the bike seems to slow you down when going uphill, right?

Recumbent

As it turns out you just can’t “get comfortable” on traditional bike seats. You’ve got a steady job, maybe a wife, a nice house, and children, and you enjoy taking up the entirety of the bike lane on the weekend. Huffing car exhaust as you furiously pedal a few feet off the ground doesn’t bother you anymore. You don’t really see what the big deal is, or why other bikers find your presence on the path such a nuisance.

Road bike

It seems you can lecture on the pros and cons of several brands of those black bike shorts. You’re almost definitely wearing toe clips, and possibly even one of those biking jerseys with a bunch of logos on it. Also, you may probably think others are riding too slow and are going to pass me the next chance you get.

Fixie

Maybe there’s an amazing story about how you acquired the various parts of your fixie and how special they are to you. There’s also a high probability that you have at least one of the following: a tattoo, gauged ears, a mustache, a Chrome bag, or one of those little biking hats. And, most likely you are to be found at a co-op, a record store, a small-ish show, or a dive bar.

Tall bike

There may be some kind of overlap here with the fixie, however it’s safe to say you’re quite a contrary person in life. Maybe you have dreads, maybe you have a mohawk, or maybe you don’t wear shoes – it’s quite difficult to say. You love the looks you get while towering over traffic, and the confused pedestrians who ask how you get on your bike. Your bike is just another manifestation of your inner alt.

Tandem

You are the kind of couple that’s always finishing each other’s sentences, that has adorable nicknames for each other, that only gets one tray in the cafeteria, etc. People probably have some sort of secret nickname for you combining your names, or they refer to you as a “power couple.” You probably even do everything together, and this bike completes that mission.
