I've never been fitted, and I'm 90% sure that's the reason I haven't been able to find a comfortable saddle after going through 15 or so in the last 3 years. It's cheaper to do 1 $150 fitting and ride comfortably than buy and sell $100+ saddles over and over, but I guess I'm a slow learner.

I don't shave my legs. Works just fine in the winter when I'm in leg warmers, but it definitely makes people more wary around me in summertime crits.

I run stop signs when there aren't any cars or pedestrians around and I'm solo, even though I interned for the city's bike planning coordinator and I try to be a model cyclist when in a group.

I regularly check the average speed of my friend's rides and feel satisfaction when it's below mine on the same route, even though I know they may be on a different training regime.

I gained 8 lbs or so over the holidays, and I'm struggling to lose it before I go to a team training camp in the mountains in 2 weeks when it'll really hurt.

I rant against d-bag judgemental roadies all the time, but at heart I'm one of them too when I judge other people's stem angles, wheels, cadence, or whatever.

Phew, got that off my chest, back to being mediocre.
