It's not the same person. They are many of them.

Nor do they look like they decided not to get into their kit because it was a short trip somewhere.

I've been riding long enough to tell if the cyclist is experienced or not. The ones I question are not even dressing down. It just looks really cheap. bikes do not fit them!! Just yesterday, It was Cervelo S1/2/3 with the aero seat post. The frame was too big for the rider, his hands were in the drops, out of the seat, leaning way forward just so he could reach the bars. The bikes swayed left and right and the front wheel kept on turning left and right so that the bike was meandering down the road. He was't dressing down. I think that was the way he normally dresses. What am I supposed to think??

Each day when I go for a walk with my partner, (so she gets some exercise), I keep pointing out all the expensive bikes that go rolling by with rider not matching. Orbea, Trek, Cervelo, Felt, Specialized... I wish I could have one of those bikes in my size.

Maybe they bought it off craigslist or on some corner.

My sister and her husband stored their bike locked in the garage. Both were stolen. So they keep theirs in the basement now. This is in Utah. I keep my bikes in my bedroom. Just no way am I going to risk it in the garage especially after reading all the police report stating that the bike was locked with chain/cable in the closed garage.
