Opc!?!?!?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Opc!?!?!?

great. So I still have no idea what an OCP truly is, just that I know that I am one.


Is an OPC someone who rides because he/she just wants to look like a pro rider? In other words, is an OCP's main motive for riding a bike is to impress others?

BTW, if you want to send me $$$$$, I would be more than great full for it, just that I have everything I could possibly need for a good, hard, long, and completely and utterly amazing ride.

never mind. I got it. (finally). Yup. Definitely NOT a poser.
good thing too. I would have had to taken DRASTIC action to reverse the downward spiral of the obsession. (if that's even possible)

That's pretty much it, as far as I know.

You keep getting OPC and OCP mixed up by the way
