**The Official Fred-ish Thread**

Wow. And I was really trying with that other stuff. Never thought about the cages. I have two matching king ss cages on the road bike, but I like the plastic one here because it expands to fit different size bottles.

Proud to be Fred.

How about this get up from a few years back?

Trying to be a Fred negates the Fredness. Like how Hipsters wear old shitty tee shirts to be ironic.

Is that a seat bag on the bars?

I forgot about that. That was a cell phone pouch that I ziptied to bar.

I have evolved to zip tying my phone right to my stem now so I can change the song while riding.

Definitely a violation. Also, 55 is short sleeve weather, so strike two.

I can't imagine how fast you would be if you wore shoes where you can feel the pedals

How does feeling the pedals make you faster? Serious question.

 

[Victor I]

I’m going to go home to go feel my pedals and see what happens

@stb222 can I wear a cap with baggies?

It probably doesn't, but confidence in grip, weighting different parts of a flat pedal lead to better cornering and pumping things on the trail for speed.

@stb222 can I wear a cap with baggies?

Interesting question. I only wear baggies on the mtb and I have a helmet that is mtb specific / has a visor. The only reason I wear a cap is for rain-in-the-eye protection, but since my helmet has a visor, that takes care of that. So in my case, cap with baggies will not happen.

However, I have a rapha Belgian style winter hat (you have a similar one) that i may have worn with a visor helmet.

In general, I think baggies / cap is only an offense if you have a helmet with a visor.
