Then I'm a posenger, because I bought my fixie off the shelf. I think I find something comforting about labelling myself in classifications that seem to be the object of widespread scorn. It seems to keep people's expectations low.

So yeah, I'm a roadie when I'm in the commuter forum. On the ssfg forum, I'm a wannabe messenger. On the car free forum, I am a car apologist. (but don't own one) On the roadie forum,... well I haven't figured that out yet. Paradoxically, despite roadies' reputation as being arrogant, in my experience they are the least likely to have negative hangups with other types of riders.
