(14,779 posts)Someone who bike at 3-4 miles per hour on a bike trail?
Someone Biking with another riding side by side and NOT giving way to others?
A biker who does NOT ring a bell or yell "On your left" when they come up from behind a person walking on a trail?
Someone in spandex walking from her car to a store, trying to look like a cyclists but never gets near a bike?
Some of the above I can live with, others I can live without, but you have to define who you are objecting to for others can understand what or who you are objecting to. As far as I know I may be the type of biker you are objecting to and I can not agree or disagree until I have details of the type of "Poser" you hate.

We have young and old, beach bikers and tourists, serious bikers in all the gear on high end wheels, and a few regular folks, like myself, who likes good equipment and comfortable clothing and takes nice easy rides with friends.
I'm not having a poser problem in these parts.

A friend of mine refers to this trend as bike porn .
Most posers in my city ride fixed gear bikes. I just dont see the benefit of them...but they do look very cool
