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.

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

1) Girls ride bikes, too. High school was a long time ago; time to update your gender norms.

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? :)

How nerdy is it to ride a fixed gear with a rack and panniers and fenders and home-made bits and a brake? How nerdy is it that I LOVE this bike?
