yes. And it annoys me when my overweight/sedentary roomates and co-workers say 'so you're go for a bike ride?' when I'm going to some abandoned industrial park to V02 max intervals and WRIs until puke so I don't get dropped in my crit.
On the otherhand, I no longer judge anyone who rides a bike. I used be all about posers and Freds and whatever, but after getting humbled over and over in races...i think its just cool that people ride bikes at all....

Is Clay Aiken still on that show? I understand he's very popular with the ladies.

I mixed genuine team issued bibs (friend on a Pro team) with Chinese knockoff jerseys. No one can tell.
I put $10 ebay/Chinese carbon bottle cages on my $4000 Italian bike.
I am more weight weenie-ish than someone my size (6'04" 210lbs) has any right being.
I justified buying a $4000 bike for charity rides. "It's for a good cause".

My saddle bag is large enough for a tube, tire levers, multi-tool, phone and wallet (i.e., too large by BF standards).

Here's another confession: Starting to regret putting the standard double on my bike last summer and then getting so incredibly f***in out of shape over the winter that I had to stop and walk up two hills today, as well as stop just about every mile to get my heart rate down from 180+. I wasn't even trying to push myself, had I gone any slower I would have never made it home from my 13 mile ride :-( It's amazing how just a few months can destroy your fitness level.
