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

W/kg is passé

I propose a new measurement, more relevant to the 41's increasing Fred population: W/waistline, in cm.

Waistline is related to body weight its a good way to make people with big heads feel even better as the weight of their head will no longer be counted

You could just cut your head off (like the OP obviously did) and then you would fit in well on this forum.

the weight loss plus aerodynamic advantage would just be unfair to the other riders.
