It is probably hard to accept but most of 'em roadies are thin, fit and put a lot of miles on their skinny tires. Try riding with a pack of roadies for a few miles and see how you fare - you might see why they are wearing tights and not waving at every dufus on a bike.

I am a roadie. I'm also a commuter, a cycletourist, and a randonneur. |
mmmmmmmmmmm.....grape.

I also ride a motorcycle, and have noticed that the entire motorcycle world has been split into two main camps, the "sportbike" and the "Harley" crowds. Two two never associate, don't wave, and will completely ignore each other even if stopped right next to each other at a light. Because of this division, neither group has any political clout or the ability to get respect from the non-motorcycling public.
Thank god we bicyclist are too smart for that!!!! |
I always assume bikers are just old guys having a midlife crisis. Like my dad.

"Roadie" was a movie starring Meat Loaf.

High cycling mileage figures does not necessarily mean anything about the Road Cyclist Population's typical method of getting to work, or if many/any Roadies have a clue about bicycle commuting in urban traffic. |

Some folks just like it to be social. The schizo duality of these rants is always entertaining: Those roadies look so gay in their little uniforms, why won't they wave at me. Boo Hoo. Bow Wow! Bow Wow! |
