In bicycling like any field, there'll be some people that'll push boundaries, introduce new things, influence that field as well as being part of it. That takes insight, imagination, determination and a willingness to question conventional wisdom. Don't know if in the bicycling industry if they'll all be 'Freds', but there's no way any of them will be people hung up on any stereotypical image of what a bike or biking should be.
