    Anti Snob
    You have a strong love of cycling but you hate the pretentious crowds with their caps and pulled-up socks – you'd rather be out on your bike than sipping espressos.

    I dont really like coffee and defo not espressos.

    I'm fairly sure the plural of espresso is espresso.

    The plural of espresso is caffè. No self-respecting Italian would order "due espresso". "Due caffè espresso" is acceptable before 11.30am, since some wusses might be looking for a cappuccino at that hour.

    Not a Snob, thankfully accurate!

    Told me "You know a good bike when you see one and you value comfortable kit, but you're not a fan of over-expensive cycling fashion. You remember bikes are for riding, not for staring at."

    Well one of the questions was NOT conducive to female cyclists. Asking
    Why do you shave ; with the 3answers to choose from being
    1) it's pro
    2) it's aero isn't it
    3) you don't
