This floated into my brain somewhere near Cramond (I blame the lingering cold) and thought since there are lots of new memebers, what better way to introduce ourselves than a game of CCE Top Trumps.
Hereza categories, scores out of ten with points for various sub categories.
Spotability
Same place, same time (1-3 points)
Distinctive bike (1-3 points)
Commute South of Princes st +1 North 0
Any other unusual personal attributes (freakishly tall, one leg, maninaskirt, etc) (1-3 points)
Ruggedness
From 10, remove 1 for every month you've not commuted in the past year (+1 for months where you've been carrying a child (for SRD))
AWESOME POWER
Add a point for every bike bit you've broken just by sheer effort, every animal you've saved and every semi miraculous emergency stop you've made in time.
Copenhagenalismness
A measure of cycle chicness. Remove a point for wearing lycra, hi-viz, a helmet, waterproofs, warm clothing, gloves, clips, cleats. Pretty much anything not wool, tweed, floaty. Also minus if your bike has more than three gears, anything less than full mudguards and no basket with a baguette in it.
Bonus point being able to ride while drinking a takeaway coffee and tweeting about it +2.

Use your bike as your main form of commuting (1-3pt)
Your commute involves going through a postcode higher than EH3 +1, EH17 +2 or between a postcode other than EH +3

Bike shop owner/worker that allows people to use shop track pump +3
Bonus point if you always carry a repair kit, tyre levers and a pump and will offer to help other stopped cyclists +1
Any other categories I've missed?
