What if it's a singlespeed?

And which of my bikes should I not have both on?

Hey, can we rack up non-cyclist points?

Recumbent - 2
(triathletes and electric assist get 2 as well)
Mudguards - 1
tradie shirt instead of jersey - 1
no idea of gruppo - 1 (although I do know some of it's SRAM and some
Shimano)
no idea how much the bike weighs - 1
rack and pannier - 1
no carbon - 1

Kickstand - 2
Dynamo lightset - 1
Rear-view mirror - 1
Leather saddle (with springs) - 2

I'm racking those points up!!

Must be worth something.

actual clipless don't get you anything, MTB on a road bike might be
half a point but the Zipp wheels are easy minus 3.

How many points do I get for stainless steel mesh reinforced toe-straps?
With pull-tags.

you get points if it is more then 30 years old.
double points if you ride in a boiler suit,
triple poins if boiler suit and real leather safety boots.

Anything less that 5 years old is definitely trendy

Oh, and surely
No HR monitor - 1
Baggy touring shorts - 1
Front rack - 1

Gives me 12 non-cyclist points

Cool! Don't know how I can even justify my membership of a cycling club. But
then, were tourers!

How about my old 27"? 26 year old 10sp *total* gears. Drop bars, toe-clips,
600ax pedals, dynamo (Dynapower), mudguards, and now with new Brooks Swift
leather saddle and Carradice seat pack.

There's got to be a whole lot of points in that. But I could ride it with
the old ParaSport wool jersey too.

Curses I can only get to 9 points, does a leather saddle no springs get
any points?
