Freds? I am a burger living in Switzerland and here is PEAK Fred. Extremely high standard of living such that anons buy that absolute top shit money can buy- pick the sport...

Of course, there is no need to buy new because these motherfuckers are constantly updating their gear so the used market is outfuckingstanding.

Am a normal, old guy cyclist. was fast, now fat. for a giggle, I bought a fat-tire electric thing. The best is passing the entire fucking "peleton" of these fuckers. Yeah, I know it's electric and cheating, but I know it pisses them off. So.... more giggling for me.

It's a form of larping. Those people remind me of weebs wearing kimonos and katanas and thinking they are samurai and masters of combat. The only difference, from my experience, is that the cyclists are a lot more elitist and annoying. I know a guy whos almost identical to ops pic and he constantly huffs and puffs at any bike that he sees that's cheaper than his(while he himself can barely ride for 7 km at a moderate pace), posts bike shit and strava routes on social media constantly and talks like he's a pro cyclist

Speaking of TT bikes, does anyone know if the older aluminum Specialized Transition models from the mid 2000s were made in Taiwan or China? Even better, do you own one and can check if it says on the frame? Thanks

I am one of those people. Not to this extent, but I do ride a full blown enduro bike as a commuter.

Wearing the right clothes has a verifiable psychological effect; average people perform statistically better on cognitive tasks when wearing lab coats.

If lycra can get the guy in the zone and into the mindset to push himself, good on him.
