White garage doors do seem to be an American requirement. That is not the same as universal.

you mean the world doesn't revolve around America? What are you, some kind of Aussie or something?

Then I'm there

Regular black Marks and Spencer's socks, the Trek 1000 of the sock world.

So, no need to mention the Performance Cyclist jerseys, basic Giro helmet, or voracious apetite for full kit Poseurs.

I know it's a very strange concept for a 'Merican to grasp. The universe doesn't revolve around America. Not now and not for a long time.

LOL

I'm getting more Fredly by the minute. I got a bar end mirror the other day and I actually really like it. It was so windy today I couldn't hear anything but I did see the guy on my 6 get a flat and pull over. If I didn't have the mirror I'd still be looking for him.

I cant maintain speed and get up to speed without being clipped in for durations longer than a sole sprint. One leg pulls while the other pushes... doesn't really work to well in the mud though...
