Fred?

[Trekhawk]

There is a tipping point at which being really uncool (Fred) suddenly becomes Uber Cool. Ideally, we should strive for this. It's sort of like movies that are SO bad that they then fall into the Great category.

I love it!! Maybe I will be great after all.

Phew, I was beginning to think I was the only one with a visor. I just like to minimize the sun in my eyes. Although I may get a second helmet for when I do canyon rides to increase my visibility on the descent.

Speaking of canyon rides, I love my triple. I couldn't ride the canyons without it. I'm glad I'm not the only one with a triple (albeit I have an aluminum frame).

I had never seen people turn up the bottom of their shorts until I started riding with my club this spring. When I first saw that, my thought was that they were clueless. Oops, maybe I am the clueless one. Either way, my shorts are staying down, I need the grippers to keep them from riding up. I'm with that whole function over fashion thing.

Just too funny. Something I never considered...

A triple on a full on TT bike. spinning at 150rpm. Oh my. Now I think triples are absolutely wonderful for those who wants or needs it. It gives you more flexibility in the gear you want to ride.

Nothing more stupid than grinding your way up a steep hill (6-9% or even a 15% grade) on a corncob with 39/54 chainring. I've watched others smile and pass me up the hill as they spun their cranks. And all I could do was ...

Anyway, my father used to tease me about my workout on a bike. He suggested that I use a beach cruiser single speed with a mustache bars and solid rubber tires. And while at it, put a rack with pannier on both side. He added that I would get a much better work out.

How can I argue with such perfect logic?

maybe I will deck out a beach cruiser with a fixed gear, my speedplay pedals, and replace the wide comfy spring loaded seat with a sella Itallia racing saddle. Ofcourse, I would need to attach a streamer on the bar plugs and a small bicycle bells on the handle bar. A generator with a head light and a tail light, a kick stand, fenders. Did I miss anything??

My reply was: I don't think logically like that. Color matching is logic and styling is logic in my books So I'm vain to some degree.

And guys are slave to fashion too. look at all the barneys. Dressed like a members of CSC, Discovery...
