How Fred is this?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Do you think that you can't tell they are fat with loose clothing on? I guess I'm just not offended by people getting out and wearing what is comfortable on a bike, and that is probably the case for overweight people too

When I was larger, I found spandex to be slimming. Throw on a kit with a busy pattern and its like fat camo. Black goes along way too. Not to mention it's comfy.

People who think they're too large to wear spandex shouldn't knock it until they try it. And at the end of the day, they're out doing something rather than sitting on the couch eating cheetos.

He was actually the mayor of a town which the Tour de France went through.

I've thought of buying the kit of a less popular pro team and hiding it in the closet for 5-10 years. Perhaps put it in the basement with a nice bottle of vintage port. Pull it out in a decade, wear it for a ride, and celebrate with a drink.
