This is very true! 'Serious' cyclists give me a wide berth when I'm on the mixte because they assume I have no idea what I am doing. Very funny. They also assume that I'm slow...so they tend to get all competitive when they see that I'm right behind them still.

Of course, my guess is that this wouldn't be the case if my mixte didn't look like it belonged in the Wizard of Oz. (dooda dooda doodoo...)
