Silly quiz on Bike Radar to waste a couple of minutes from your busy day... http://www.bikeradar.com/road/gear/article/quiz-ar...

Apparently, I'm an 'Anti-Snob'...

Yep, anti snob too. Not enough options on the questions though. 'Strava is', along with 'Sportives are' could both do with a 'something that doesn't interest me in the slightest' options.

Although apparently I'm an anti-snob I don't understand how people having bought a bike, entered some sportives and watched le tour, can not then fall completely and utterly in love with cycling, its history, its nuances, its personalities and the little things that set us apart from people who just ride a bike.

I got stuck on the Strava question. Real cyclists actually use that?

Many many many pro's both world tour, pro conti and indeed just UCI UK riders use Strava. At the national 10 mile time trial I think over 15 of the top 20 were on Strava.

Of course there will be some who don't but Strava is a HUGE thing in the UK and all sorts of riders use it.

Go on, I'll bite.
