When I decided to take this cycling stuff "seriously", I put forth a major effort to NOT be a Fred. I went ahead and purchased the cycling shorts, the shoes, then some nice-looking decent jerseys...helmets, sunglasses, gloves, all the while conscious of my color coordination. I bought a couple of bikes because, well...two is better than one (not crazy expensive ones, but still).
So I'm thinking that all my efforts to avoid Frediness has put me on the road to Poseurville.
I don't care. I'm enjoying myself.
