Fortunately, no need to go to Fred school. An Android app will soon be appearing in the marketplace. We just need to reach out to all the Freds who don't know they are Freds.

That Fred thing is interesting, me I have a mirror on my CF bike.... I am partialy deaf, have to rely on it, that makes me a Fred, even though many would benefit from a mirror, they would rather turn and weave all over to see whats behind, some moron almost scratched my Corvette, Morons, freds and Cyclists, a great mix! what are you?

A second and to me more compelling reason is that it is easier to clean up road rash on hairless legs. There is a reason why surgeons shave you before they cut you open.

Seriously - how many of us actually have road rash where the shaving of the legs really makes a difference?

Any one cover "The fine art of camuflaging your bike as a rat" yet? I have some fine riding bikes that look... sad. But no one ever steals them.
