I was gonna post this as a compliment to Dumbfee, as I have to give credit where credit is due. #7 I don't get though, which may mean that's me. uh oh.

Then I got the end and realized Dumbfee didn't write this. Ah, well. I tried my best, buddy.

I'd add 'Functioning Alcoholic' as #10. Has a beer pre, mid, and post ride. Drinks so much every night that no one understands how he isn't turned into a giant kidney stone. Wisely blames his exhaustion on 'heat stroke'. If he is not shuttling, he pedals the slowest possible on the uphills, but rips on the downhills. Rarely wants to go on early rides, but he isn't a flake: he still rides every day. Always happy because he's always buzzed. Always has post-ride beers chilled at the bottom of the trail in a cooler or nearby stream.

Heh. Artisanal pickles.

[babybear]

The artisanal pickles made me lol

#7 is a little more puzzling for me too

Maybe the author had a personal experience

[Soups]

#10. Im #10 in everyway possible except for mid ride beer...maybe

[joetron]

That was excellent. I definitely share a few of those traits across a few riders.

That reminds me, I need to wash my gloves.

[flatlander#2]

Combo 1 & 3, guess that makes me a 4...

[HankScorpio]

Great list, I can relate and I could also add a few more:

The stoner who stops for a half dozen smoke breaks
The guy who shows up with a bike that he knows needs work. "Hey could you take a look at my ___________?"
The guy who constantly wants to ride, commits to rides but bails every time.

[east or bust]

probably closest to 8 due to the fact I only have a full face, my bike has a coilover shock, and age.

You have never been to "Whiskey Wed." Beer is the appetizer.

I was a 7 for a bit, but learned pretty quickly that you can't store pads/gloves/helmet in the car after each ride. That car still had a scent to it when I sold it years later.

Try bit with hockey equipment- rawlf!

I'm #9 except I have a job. Telecommuting FTW.

#2 hits pretty close to home

When the ride gets bigger than 4-5 dudes I always appreciate the guy with the jammy speaker. If we're going to make an obnoxious scene we might as well do it right!
