Fred?

[Tater]

I am a Fred/Doris/Wilma or whatever you want to call me, but I don't care! I do what I do because it works for me.

- My helmet has a visor. I need all the sun protection I can get, if I have to look up a bit further to see from my position on the bike, fine. It also works well in the rain for keeping drops off my glasses because I cannot do contacts. My helmet also has a mirror!

- I will wear a Camelbak on rides longer than forty miles. Where I ride, I don't often have the option of stopping at a Kwik Mart for water, 'cause they don't exist.

- I wear black socks! I have a 'thing' about wearing white socks on the bike. Most likely because by the time I get home, they aren't white anymore. Black hides dirt, grime, and whatnot better.

I embrace my Fredness!

The "Black Socks" article we were talking about was 20 or 25 years ago! Tain't nothing "wrong" with black socks nowadays!

Socks are so much cooler and more interesting now than when I was a young 'un. When I was a kid we didn't have nifty pictures and colors on our socks! And we had to pedal uphill thru the snow barefoot both ways to school...
