What kind of Fred am I, I wonder. I ride a semi-recumbent kept in excellent condition. I don't wear jerseys, lycra or a helmet, but I have three front blinkies, 3 rear lights, 3 rear reflectors, 1 front reflector, wheel reflectors and tire-flies and I am even gonna get those pattern lights for my wheels next year. I even have a bell and a horn. I carry a repair kit and sometimes use pannier bags. I generally ride about 15-20mph, but sometimes a little faster. Of course, I ride in dense downtown urban traffic. I'm serious about not going too fast for traffic conditions and proudly proclaim I haven't had a collision in 30 years of regular year-round riding, but many daily close-calls. Although I don't usually challenge them verbally or otherwise, I secretly despise ninja's, wrong-way riders, red-light runners and downtown sidewalk riders. I ride to work most of the time and for pretty much all other trips as well and I ride a modified, custom trike for grocery shopping and a custom stretch cruiser from Firebike for fun rides along the beach trails, parks and the Toronto Islands. I don't know crap about the technology or components and I can only do the simplest of adjustments/repairs myself. I am not interested in racing or touring, just commuting. Am I super-ultra-uber-Fred? Gosh, I hope so. No other groups will have me.
