I'm a proud partial Fred still learning some basics not to be a full Fred. I have been told not to leave caps on the valve stems, guess that is an uber Fred thing. Some frowned upon items pointed out to me are my mountain bike shoes and pedals, I’m keeping them. I finally switched over to the tight bike shorts, the baggy ones were getting more stares than the tight ones. Another thing road bikers like is “flipping the stem,” didn’t work for me. If you have not yet gone clipless, do, this moves you up a couple non-Fred stages. Learn as much bicycle lingo as possible; saying the wrong things is a big Fred label.
This video has a lot of bike lingo, learn all the phrases.....
