My commuter:
Nerdy kid? Or perhaps the kid that played a few sports but wasn't good enough at any of them to get much time off the bench. |

Here's the retro-nerd Eagle Scout who was personable enough to know everyone and was kinda a teacher's pet but not necessarily the guy who stayed out of trouble and often times took jokes beyond the point they were funny but made for epic stories in retrospect.

Well rather than "nerd," isn't the proper term "Fred?" The blue one is my Fred ride... my all around commuting "truck." This is an older pic... I just got new panniers and a new saddle... I'll have to take another pic sometime.
The red one is my sports car. zoom zoom. |
1) Girls ride bikes, too. High school was a long time ago; time to update your gender norms.
2) All bikes are nerdy because they are not expensive cars. Sorry to burst bubbles. |

http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=162211Hmm, My commuter is probably the aging but alas still dashing, English teacher at the high school.
Has a thing for certain lines in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and also sponsors the chess team oh wait that's me. Let's try this again. My commuter is the kid who gets good grades only in history class and gym class. Probably sits alone at lunch and doesn't know what a cheerleader is. His only friends are on the cross country running team. Out of touch with his time, he participates in civil war reenactments on weekends where he plays the part of a well dressed Southern general. |

Indeed! And I bet you can dig up a picture of the French foreign exchange student too...

Leiniesred - thanks, I can see that now. Nice!
Sixty Fiver - Hmm...I guess even French exchange students can be a bit nerdy, but in an oddly sexy way... |
The English teacher bike is great!
I'll have to get a better photo of mine, so the forum can diagnose exactly what type of nerd bike mine is. |

So far, none of the bikes pictured has a basket or milk crate which I feel completes the nerd factor.

The eagle scout prankster sports a front basket.

The whole thing screams nerd. PLUS tri bike riders can't ride, so like the nerd stereotype they are un co-ordinated... |

Shame you're in Canada. I'd turn my son loose on you and you'd eat those words as you waved while he dropped you like a sack of potatoes. Can you run 5k in 15 minutes then do a 40k TT in 53 minutes and get off and run another 15 minute 5k? :)

nerdy???? i think more elegant design in a swiss army knife/subaru sort of way (which probably by default makes it nerdy :) )
http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w...d/IMG_0248.jpg the other option (and I have commuted on this......even fit a rack and fenders (barely) once upon a time) http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w...d/IMG_0619.jpg |
