Freddy-Bob Bulldog can back me up on that.
Damn...So that means that not only am I not a real cyclist, but I'm also not a real Fred


The fact is that I'm a commuter (who has also done a few tours) and have been bike commuting since the mid-80's, at one point I had to do 50-mile round trip to work. Kind of forces one to become fast; I don't have the luxury of taking a leisurely ride.

I've been turned into somewhat of a lance-wannabe, or a speed demon...So I do admit, I do find a little satisfaction of passing the other types of lance-wannabes. Maybe one day I'll find the group of cyclists that I belong to...
