What's a Fred?

[squirrell]

I looked it up the other week myself on Google--only to discover that it appears I'm a Fred! down to the gym shorts, T-Shirt, and white socks and regular old tennis shoes when riding (can't afford "real" cycle gear yet). Oh well, at least I'm enough of a cyclist to earn some kind of name

Is there a woman version of Fred--Fredericka maybe?

LOL! It seems the entire fixed gear movement is made up of Freds! DH wouldn't be caught dead in cycling clothes, with a mirror, lights and common sense protective gear. He'd find the whole Fred concept really funny, actually.
