A redcoat that rides with our group insists on wearing knickers under his kit. Is he Fredly or just British?

What's the difference?

you mean knickers underwear and not knickers the mid length cycling legging? if so, he is simply a transvestite.

we do not judge.

The PBK eMail is somewhat more pleasant than "your order has shipped" albeit somewhat verbose.

"We would like to thank you for your recent order #XXXXXX and let you know your
goods have now been despatched from our warehouse and should be with you
shortly."

did herbie just buy some knickers or bras?

i'm so hungry. lettuce, carrot, celery with olive oild and vinegar for lunch. i want a cookie.

tires.

I already have a nifty skinsuit and all the knickers I need.

You should come to 'murika and buy a foot long hot dog out of a windmill. That will satisfy your hunger.

And your daily serving of cholesterol.

No wonder they're so Fredly.

That's just dumb.

this is what happens when people's lives become run by bureaucrats. Health and safety insanity. One step further than political correctness and infinitely dumber.

Five years old is a bit young to be riding on the streets, though. Or even going to school, for that matter.

yes for riding. no for school. i went to school at that age. i was always smart for my age. i knew how to finger paint a picasso by then.

83 miles, 7500 vertical feet. When I got back to Mt. Doom by 1PM it was 95 degrees. That last 20 miles and those last few climbs really sucked today.

I just got my first leg-shaving cut. It sucks. Bled for about 15 minutes. It was like a scrape.. and ow...

Your membership @ BikeForums argues otherwise.

Just another tragic story of a promising youth come to a bad end.

been falling behind since i graduated from kindergarten

They have a high ozone air pollution alert in the NY Metro area today from 10AM to 10PM. I had no problems with breathing until about 10:30AM, then I could feel the crappy air hurting my lungs on the climbs for the last two hours of the ride.

what is low level ozone supposed to do that's harmful?

High ozone. Are you dyslexic Charlie?

i wonder if i am, pete. everything you write looks totally nonsensical. hmmmm

less said about gomer Brian's posts the better.

The hour is coming when i will know for sure just how fredly i am. i have never ridden with anyone remotely resembling a fred. In fact, i don't really ride with anyone except for the 2 road nazis and Tri geek all of whom are way too fit and into the whole training for competitions nonsense. What's all that shenanigans? Well this coming weekend i'm signed up for my first ever mass event a 106 mile sportive that should draw a myriad of freds through serious types. I will finally know where i stand in the pecking order.

Any bets on whether i'm right down the bottom? Hint...the road nazis assure me i am way faster than some they have seen at other sportives.
