I am total Fred.....
According the the BMI index, i am currently 75lbs overweight riding a very nice carbon Bianchi bike.
I just bought some bibs.. love em.. still to self conscious to wear a riding shirt, so I wear t-shirts
"Real" cyclist's that I pass are to f'n snobbish to give a nod of the head on the local bike path. You know the ones.. full kit, expensive bike/helmet, cruising along about as fast as I.
I think 16mph for an hour is pretty fast and 10min stints at 18+ is pretty damn fast
