  • I'm significantly overwieght, and don't care if I look horrible in bike shorts. They are comfortable, and easier to wash-out and dry before I get off work each day. I try not to go into stores or anything with them, but otherwise don't care. We have what we have...
  • I also like riding hills, and broke a new saddle with titanium rails last year on a ride up into the local foothills (I push back against the saddle pretty hard, so that I can push more than I actually weigh, while remaining seated).
  • I keep my chain so well-lubed, that I have to remind myself to check it for stretch once a year or so, or risk ruining the entire rear cassette and front chainrings (which I've done...on multiple occasions - very expensive).
  • I'm one of those guys that carry's the kitchen sink in their trunk bag (2 700-c tubes, 2 26-inch tubes, patch kit, small first aid kit....).

I've never followed a pretty lady before. Although, if I'm deep in thought about something while riding (usually a computer geek problem work), I am more apt to catch myself, or the lady catch me, absentmindedly staring at public cleavage displays.
