Well, it's cycling, but beyond that I have no freaking idea.

Indeed!

Does it involve types of tires?

Materials?

Hint: I made this graph. And the labels make as much sense as I was able to provide.

Doctor Phibes

so, e1 and e2 most likely involve your electric bike.

F = fixie

Cobalt, Chrome, Carbon?

I'll share the answer because that'll certainly be good cause for vigorous discussion and a frank exchange of ideas.

The x-axis is a tad optimistic. You should invert the results and re-name it as 'annoying'

Well, the process was skewed, unfortunately. I showed non-riders YouTube clips of the above activities and asked them what they thought about each. But I used the first YT clips I could find, which would have been more interesting visually than the average experience.

EDIT
Oh I forgot trials riders! I'd probably place them to the very far right of "F".

Oh, I'm afraid your research lacks rigour. What you actually discovered was what people thought of pre-selected YouTube clips.

Surely, nobody in their right mind thinks that fat little bloke riding to work on an e-bike is cooler than Eddie Merckz?

Thanks, Ax!

Right, so you didn't pick that fat little bloke riding to work on his e-bike

And never mind calling me Ax. We all know that some of your acquaintances believe that drinking artisan vodka out of a Mason jar turns them into Miles Davis.

More like weed and Frank Zappa, but yes the general point is well-made.

So mountain bikers and roadies sit on top of the hierarchy? (the other axis looks irrelevant; nobody cares what normal people think). That's what I thought. Makes me want to listen to ride of the valkyries and invade Poland.
