Lance

noun

A road cyclist attired head-to-toe in crisp, matching Lycra that looks like it should come with a sponsorship contract. A focus on aerodynamics and color coordination from sunglasses to water bottle and socks that are always the exact regulation height above spotless clipless shoes. A Lance usually rolls on a high-end carbon machine with mounted computer tracking every watt, heartbeat, and pedal stroke.

On the road, a Lance rides with a laser focus, chin tucked, elbows bent, exuding the energy of someone halfway between training for the Tour de France and filming a promo reel. He’s got a sprint segment on Strava he knows the exact wattage he’ll need to reclaim it if someone dares to challenge him.
