this always cracked me up, a guy i knew who was always bragging about buying new stuff to shave a few grams off his bike and he also carried about 50 extra pounds on his person.

but y'know what? to each his own, he had the same amount of pride in his bike and his riding as anyone else, so who am i to demean him? i'm sure people think i'm touched to spend so much time and money and energy on my bike when i'm not near racing caliber. but i just totally enjoy it.

i'm thrilled when i see ANYBODY out riding. i think "you go girl!" and wish them every happiness like i get from my bike.

so i'm fred. but i'm way happy.
