You're Clyde. Even though you are fit (okay, just barely into the Overweight category with a 25.5 BMI), you still have a lot of the issues other Clydes have, specifically the fact that bikes are generally designed with an upper weight limit of roughly 200-250 lb. (yes, lots of more capable bikes out there, but standard design is for lighter weight riders). As for the culture, I don't have a clue. I don't bother to race.
