I am a roadie. I'm also a commuter, a cycletourist, and a randonneur.
Not buying it. I commute on a road bike. A road bike equipped with rack and pannier, trunk rack and a home-brew LED lighting system front and back. My helmet has a mirror attached. My favorite 'cycling wear' is the costco convertible cargo pants. I'm no roadie, i'm a Fred.
