as I exclusively use a Camelbak instead of bottles. Ive been told that I "obviously" am an inferior rider with "obvious" poor bike handling skills, because I use a hydration bladder, which in turn makes me "stupid" because its so "inconvenient".



This would be why I dont club ride, and dont do any amateur racing. Its like going back to high school. Invariably Ill do a "noncompetitive" charity ride here, which still is a little competitive of course, and ride at the front of the pack long enough to find that a lot of those supposed "club" riders around here have way too much money compared to brains.

Fred, in cycling:

n. a person who has a mishmash of old gear, doest care at all about technology or fashion, didnt race or follow racing, etc. Often identified by chainring marks on white calf socks. Used by "serious" roadies to disparage utility cyclists and touring riders, especially after these totally unfashionable "freds" drop the "serious" roadies on hills because the "serious" guys were really posers. This term is from road touring and, according to popular myth, "Fred" was a well-known grumpy old touring rider, who really was named Fred.
