I mean look at this bike, fenders with an extender on the front, a bell, reflectors in the spokes. Look at that bag, it's huge. And the pedals... they're doublesided. What kind of dork rides flat pedals, ever? And don't even get me started on those non integrated shifters. A Brooks leather saddle, that's gotta weigh 10 -15 pounds by itself. Really, who rides 27 mmm tires? AND look at how many spokes there are on those wheels! No real cyclist would be caught dead on this bike.

PS In case you haven't figured out, that's my bike. It looks a little different now and I have a commuter bike so I don't have the bag and rack on it anymore.
