I'm happy to be a Fred ... Definitely not the fastest rider, not the most skilled, but I have more fun feeding my Fred habit than anything else I've done for recreation in a long time.

And yes, I know I've helped make a couple of sales months end better than anticipated by the owner of the LBS I frequent. He and his staff may think I'm quite the Fred, maybe say it behind my back, but if so I never saw any sign of it to my face - frankly, Fredness pays off in the level of service I get.

Mirrors though ... meh, they don't do much for me, never found them very practical.

Vive Le Fred!
