OK, here goes.

My "road bike" is a Surly Crosscheck. But I don't race cross and I never intend to. But like all cross bikes, it has a mix of mountain and road compoents.

Most of my riding comes in the form of commuting. But most of that is along rural roads. On my "road bike."

I also have a fixed gear. But I converted it from an old vintage touring frame. And I don't live in SF or NYC and do very little urban riding. Besides, my use and ownership of a geared bike make me an infidel in that religion.

I actually wondered outloud if I was qualified to respond to a post on the roadie forum regarding clothing. That's where I got the idea for this thread.

Anyone else have this problem?
