I hear that Freds now want to be treated like human beings and first class citizens...Hah!

They even want the right to marry! I'll tell ya..I just don't know what this country is coming to...We're just swirling down the drain!
It's true. And the funny thing is the farther up the USAC categories you go, the freddishness you find: frame pumps, fenders, zipties, tire liners, and duct tape. Not to mention bike commuting and cookies as riding fuel. It's just a function of the mileage necessary to be competitive.
