Maybe they have a fine for rich fat bike poseurs, too. Colnago frame with flat bars? 1k fine. Cervelo with suspension seatpost? 5k fine. Specialized Tarmac S-Works with rear rack(held on with cable ties)? 10k fine.

Orbea Orca with a Koobie seat? Immediate Deportation.
What a concept!!!

fines could go to the USCF for junior development...
