  • Frame pump: check.
  • Saddle level with bars: check.
  • SPD pedals: check (unless I swap back to clips and straps, and if I don't feel it in the first hundred miles, then there ain't no such thing as hotspots on these feet).
  • MTB shorts: check.
  • Goofy socks: check.
  • Hairy legs: check.
  • Long sleeved running shirt instead of cycling jersey: check (significant reduction in blistering sunburns).
  • Triple rings: check (on the touring bike).

However, on the Steamroller:
  • Expensive tires: check (but with a LBS hookup, they're not *that* expensive).
... wait: what does fixed gear do to my fred-ish-ness?

Oh no. Am I a hipster fred??
Gack!!
