What's a Fred?

[lph]

I like my bike and I like cycling so I'm probably just going to do what I always do: do what I love and not worry about what other people think

Well said! I'm honestly not trying to be snarky here - but this is what I intend to do too, cycle the way I love, and not worry that other people may think me elitist or unfriendly.

Re Norwegians ignoring their fellow men: I passed a guy obviously fixing his bike yesterday morning, slowed down and called out "got everything you need?" Well, in norwegian, of course.

He stared at me like I was barking mad.
