I hope I'm able to ride my bike when I'm 90.
They'll probably have some Space Age Material replacement for Lycra by then, though.

I don't care if you think I'm a Fred. I don't care if you think I'm an overbearing Road Nazi asshle. Neither should you. And if half the idiots here could wrap their pathetic weenie minds around that staggeringly simple concept, there would be World Peace.
What fun would that be?

Why do you hate Entertainment?
The whole point of calling each other Freds is because the other person really *does* care (deep down...even if they don't freely admit it here on BF). You Fred.

Well hey, I've got a lot of respect for anyone that can put serious miles on a mountain bike, considering that 9.5 hours isn't all that bad.

I saw a guy riding a US Postal Madone and wearing one of these today:
I think he had an American flag do rag on too.
Then again I ride in jeans most of the time.

It is funny. " Freds...are everywhere." Probably a hundred million 'Freds' in the world would assume you are a pro of some sort - why else would anyone wear such ridiculous clothing on a bicycle littered with someone else's names and take it out on weekends to really go nowhere.

Whenever I see someone decked out in road bike kit, I always assume they're posers like a civic with stickers and a wing. They go slow and crap out on the slightest resemblant of a hill. Sure, there must be a groupuscule who are actually good riders, and while it's not impossible one of them out there could actually be a pro, I don't recall having the thought cross my mind upon seeing one.

I just hope his medicare will cover the carnage resulting from the inevitible collision caused by the sun reflecting off some Fred's light, mirror, reflector display - rendering him blind.
...well the eyes are the first to go....or at least that's what the old guys say.

Or.... I could just purchase a jersey with the word Poseur printed on the back. Better yet.. a tshirt and shants.

Oh yeah, and my general purpose bike (the one that does the real work and gets the mileage), is the ugliest purple Specialized could come up with (in the early 90s, I think) and has these little silver fenders.
