The team kit still hasn't arrived... so until then, my limited wardrobe of cycling apparel definitely gets worn more than once between washes.

It's because of cycling that I've started doing laundry regularly. Before, it was the typical collegiate male "I'll do all my laundry, then ride out the clothing supply until I have to wash everything again." Now, I have to keep the kit relatively clean, so that means laundry more often.

When not road riding, I'm kind of a skinny jean wearin', fixed gear ridin', dirty hipster.

When riding said fixed gear bike, I definitely run red lights. (not blow through them or anything, but if it's definitely clear enough for a pedestrian to jaywalk through, I'll sometimes roll through without a second thought)

When on group road rides, if I'm in front, I have to consciously remember to not roll through reds in a similar manner.

I'm 6'1", and 165 lbs. Tall, lanky, and generally pretty fit. However, last week (and I think the first time ever for me), I caught myself noticing what little fat I have over my stomach, and thinking 'Yeah, I could lose a few pounds.'

I LOVE when little kids see me in full kit (wearing a helmet!), and have that "woah! cool!" face. When I was growing up, I thought helmets were uncool, had zero interest in road bikes, and didn't even know you could easily get into amateur racing of any kind until early in college. I like feeling like a positive influence.

I didn't read the rest of the confessions, I just hopped to the last page to post mine. (I'm catching up, I swear)

I could go on... but that's it for now.
