FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 2012 BSNYC Friday Fun Quiz! Yesterday, I dressed head to bunions in special bikey clothes, and then I rode around in circles for about an hour.
I mention this only to underscore a fundamental truth, which is this: Once a Fred, Always a Fred. Sure, I could have just jumped on a bike while wearing regular clothing, but instead I opted to don a special proprietary wardrobe just to enjoy an hour of leisurely forward motion. For some reason, once you take it into your head that proper leisure cycling has to involve stretchy shorts and clicky shoes, it's nearly impossible to free yourself from this notion. In fact, the only person in history who's successfully done so is Grant Petersen, and he even wrote an excellent book that will tell you how to do it too, though in undertaking his de-Fredification treatment you do run the risk of becoming something even stranger. It's sort of like kicking drugs only to become a born-again Christian.
