Quiz: which cycling brand are you?

Take our simple quiz to find out!

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.

You got: Altura

Sensible clothes for sensible people. Hi-viz and overtrousers have their place, and that's on you, on your commute. Sometimes even in summer. That new racy stuff is nice too, if a bit spendy.

Didn't take the quiz but you cant beat plus-4s, leather brogues and a nice sensible tweed jacket.

Castelli for me too. Had a pair of shorts in the late 80's that only lasted one summer. But my favourite jersey was a Castelli from the same period. Fantastic. Multi colour, not Mondrian but of the type. No fluoro colours as was de rigeur (sp ?) at the time. Generally too small for me.

Castelli; I've been seriously considering a Gabba. I'm a big fan of Santini & BioRacer tbh.

stupid quiz OR stealth marketing survey? Eh? Illuminati, Bilderberg group etc. etc. ?? Isn't it?

Craft - apparently. In reality: Endura, Mavic, Aldi.

Even though it is just for fun, my results were accurate too!  13
Altura, I do own some of their shorts and my winter cycling coat is made by them as well.

Haha, Castelli. Not far off then. On the rain question I wanted a "rain, what rain?" answer though  3

Most of my kit is Shutt VR or Endura

Interesting, I just randomly put in all of the "knobish" answers and got Assos, then I put in the next level down and got Vulpine (which I think are better than Assos), Then came Dhb and finally came Lidl.

I'm glad that it wasn't Vulpine under what I am describing at "knobish" answers, all would be D is it was set out A,B,C,D

A would be Lidi
B is Dhb
C is Vulpine
D Assos

I can't be bothered doing all the different combo's. I wonder if Rapha is in there and how it ranks  24

Castelli for me, which apart from the couple of Santini jerseys in my cycle clothing drawer is spot on!

You have the wrong wardrobe. Simples, innit?

I got thrown by the first sentence due to it containing 'Lob on' and 'donkey'.

So, so, childish...

Weird. I got Castelli. And I answered the questions as my own pigging brand. Tut.
So there is a fault and I'm suing.
Look out for something in the post.
