Given the additional info provide in the other question, I might go for \'distinctly sporty driving\'

Kim - Don\'t think this is about bicycles - the additional context in the other question suggested \'economical\' driving, and I\'m not sure how you\'d do that on a bike! ;-)

Isn't sportsmanlike something different? I thought that was being a good loser and fighting fair ... while what we want is sporty (-:

Yes, I saw it. The "Neutral" was only for "sportsmanlike", but if the question deals with bicycle racing it might be acceptable, except for car racing.

decidedly
Was the first word that sprang to my mind.Just as an addition to all the others. As we don't have more text we can't see what style of word would fit.

decidedly responsive driving
"Via the Active Select function, the driver can select the manual shift function for more RESPONSIVE DRIVING."
(http://vectra.opel.com/brand_sites/vectra/launch/templates/t...
"An emotional, contemporary design, combined with more RESPONSIVE DRIVING pleasure and greater room than its predecessor, make the ES 300 a more alluring package for a broader range of buyers. In many ways, the new ES 300 more closely aligns with the LS 430 flagship model." (2003 Lexus ES 300)

\"responsive driving pleasure\" would, of course, be \"sportliches Fahrvergnügen\" :)
