Sometimes I go on shorter rides on my cheap craigslist aluminum bike in basketball shorts (with bike shorts underneath) and a regular fashion t-shirt to feel better about myself passing people on nice bikes and not getting waves from roadies.. even though I have the full kit and a DI2 carbon bike w/ powertap at home.
I think it's to offset the feeling of getting dropped on faster group rides.

I don't know if this post was part of Gerry Hull's 'stream of psychosis' or not.
Anyway, one must work through the Kubler-Ross steps if you buy a recumbent:
Denial - I wouldn't be better off riding one of those monsters.
Anger - I know plenty of old goats with bad backs and balance problems, and those buttholes still ride their Cervelos.
Bargaining - OK, I might get a bent, but only if PCad gets one first.
Depression - So I looked at recumbents at the LBS and Holy Crap are they ugly.
Acceptance - How many miles does it take to get my bent legs (answer - about 2500)?
Fear not. If you're lucky you might go into remission. My mileage this week was 50% bent and 50% real bike.
