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

If you two didn't live thousands of miles apart that would have be hilarious.

thats exactly what i looked like when I rode my bike home from the shop. I didnt care, at least i was riding it, not putting on the roof of my car and driving home. i did eventually take of the stickers, and reflectors. i still have the dork disc, but thats just lazyness. I still have fuzz, and probably will for a while. tube socks? no way!

+1. I would definitely buy one, that's pretty awesome. Much better than my method of folding, putting in a ziplock, and sticking under the front of my jersey where it makes me sweat.

What is a FRED?!

MOST important, what is wrong the position of the skewers? Why are they unsafe?

Thanks to Freds, there is a cycling industry. There is no money in building bikes simply to give them to Tour riders. That is done to sell bikes and equipment to Freds and t works! I don't know why Freds are addressed with such disdain when they are simply put, the industry.
