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.

It gave me Castelli, which is fairly accurate.

Gave me Castelli which I do have a bit of but I'm more of a www.RoadHolland.com guy because I prefer a bit of Sportwool.

I got Craft, which I have a bit of but find most of it sizes a bit(cough) too big. Otherwise its dhb stuff which is gradually being retired in favour of Castelli when its in the sale...

Ha ! Castelli pour moi. I do own one pair of their fine gloves. Most if my kit is from Rapha, though - pretty close fit, though - so to speak.

You got: Craft

You like to think you're a bit too cool for own-brand gear, although you're not prepared to throw masses of money after that conviction. So it's decent value Swedish attire for you.

Pah! Not Italian enough!  45

It's says craft, but I have none of their stuff.

I don't really buy brands since campag stopped the sports wear, it just but what's half decent when it's discounted and put it away till something else gets relegated.

Craft for me. Was Lidl or Aldi a possible option though?

FUNNY! I'll be the one at the back of the pack gasping for breath in cheap shoes and baggy shorts with a big grin on me face. Oh, I got DHB, which makes sense...

I got Castelli:
"Just make sure you're number's visible on the next sportive"

Did you get the intern to write the quiz?  3

Craft too. Hoped I'd be trendier with a Vulpine or Castelli.

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

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
