Everyone's got an opinion on which cycling gear is the best. This one's too expensive. That one isn't up to the job. You could just buy a bin liner and cut some holes in it, etc and so on. But there's a world of cycling gear out there. Which should YOU choose?

Well, we're helpful souls here at road.cc, so we've put together this handy* quiz. Just answer the simple and not-at-all-leading questions and we'll match you up with one of ten popular cycling brands. What could be easier? We've made sure that we cater for everyone, from the bargain hunter through to the big spender. So take a couple of minutes out of your day to see what brand we recommend for you. Enjoy!

*OBVIOUS SATIRE DISCLAIMER: it's just a bit of fun, silly.

Castelli for me, though in real life I own none. Pearl Izumi, Craft and Madison for value.

It says Altura but that's not right; it's mostly Lidl for me!

I got Vulpine... which is nice. I'm mostly kitted out with Rapha and Castelli but I do like their style 16 .

Ooh they've got a sale on 4 . Might have to pad out the winter wear wardrobe.

Craft, which is about right. Got a top of theirs which is good. Lots of similar stuff from other suppliers at SportPursuit.com for the image and cost conscious out there.

Can't bring myself to do lidl or Aldi but don't want to pay Rapha or Castelli prices although some good sale priced Castelli team kits (Garmin Sharp and Qhubeka) on the above site are tempting but that raises the replica kit issue. Can my riding support replica team kit? Maybe just the bib shorts although I am sure none of the team riders need the XL or XXL size.

Nice bit of fun

Craft for me. Forgive my ignorance, never heard of the brand

In reality I have lots of Specialized's top end clothing because I worked in a concept store, good crazy cheap staff deals and its nice kit

Since moving to a new job, I'm building up a nice selection of Santini SMS but for better weather, with the Spesh kit for murky weather

More Buzzfeed like quizzes please!

I am saying 'be Castelli, be Castelli.' 'Ha!' I got Castelli.
The last four fullish priced items I have bought were Castelli, including the superb Sanremo. The very first kit I ever bought was Castelli ONCE 1999, Laurent Jalabert and all that.

I got dhb (Brit) others got Altura (sensible Brit), Endura. Nearly sure that Rapha and Vulpine got an honorary mention as well. Think that's a good collection of Brit clothing. Me. I prefer Tweed. A fun quiz though and tongue in cheek.

Dhb, although ironically I don't own any. Craft, Sportful, Specialized, Rogelli and Howies account for most of my kit.

I got Castelli yet my cycling kit is a mixture of Endura, Altura and Crane. I couldn't even afford Castelli

Craft. Does this mean I have to burn my howies and Vulpine kit?

Any quiz that includes the question (paraphrasing) "would you spend £200 for a special tab on your arse?" makes me respond with: Publish more of these quizzes please.

I got dhb - which isn't far wrong, I actually own a pair of their bib shorts.

But I also wear Sports Direct £2 jerseys, Aldi and Vulpine.

Don't have any of the 'R' brand, yet 3
