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

My name is Fred, why to people snicker when I introduce myself?

None of those Carbon-geek Kit-wearing ambiguously-ghey leg shavers ever waves to me when I'm riding so after a week I just started giving them the single-finger salute and weaving erratically when they try to pass.

Why won't they just accept me?

This is me on the latest club ride. It feels great to drop those carbon pansies off my back wheel.

Is there any other hobby, sport, lifestyle, etc. That creates more stupid questions and more stupid answers than cycling? If there is I don't know what it is.

I had at least 30. Before the Beatles.I should have kept them. BTW-Corgi is the Welch word for dwarf. I just realized the cars may not be named after a dog. Learned something new today!!!!

Edit: oops......no they are not..

The Corgi brand was created by the Mettoy Company of Northampton which first started to produce colorful, pressed metal toys in the 1930s. The name Corgi (after the Welsh dog) was chosen for three reasons: first, because it was short and catchy; secondly because the models were to be produced in Swansea and thirdly because of its status in being strongly association with the Royal Family.
