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

Fredioactive

FREDIOACTIVE

That's my new Fred term du jour. That's what happens when a company takes a perfectly good race bike, like the Cannondale Six13, and they dumb it down for the Freds. You know, world class race bike, let's make it more Fred-friendly so the Freds can reach the friggin handlebars. Cervelo did it with the R3 when they made the RS. It renders those models untouchable for any self respecting (or Self Loathing) Road Nazi.

Discuss.

Just her bicycle. If she doesn't like that, she knows where to find me. I am wiling to pay for any perceived slight. Spanking sounds good.

I don't know about all that, but compacts and triples are. I don't care what bizarro oddball 'so and so in the UCI rides one' dude you pull out to support those things. Fredioactive.

The Synapse is currently under review by the PFRC (Pcad Fred Regulation Commission); we will issue our findings in due course.
