Cat levels are skill categories in the usa cycling system is based on ability and experience. Cat 5 is the lowest category cat 1 is the highest. See http://www.usacycling.org/news/user/story.php?id=580 for some info on the topic.

How was this a stupid question, Shu? It'd only be a stupid one if you didn't ask it!;)

LOL! Good question! Didn't your LBS give you a license when you bought your bike? Mine says "CAT10" on it. http://www.comicguide.net/images/smilies/biker1.gif
Seriously though, I didn't know what that meant either. Now that I do know, it will never apply to me.

The Cat's are categories in the USCF (United States Cycling Federation), by the way. They are used in Track and Criteriums and road racing.
