    Velonews, of course. You have to look closely to really appreciate the
    fredliness. I may have to submit this to websters.

    You can't imagine the number of times I've been over little Pinehurst
    where this picture was taken. They should have routed them up big
    Pinehurst but then it would have been a pain in the butt to the
    residents of Skyline Rd.

    Most women should spot this one right away as we often worry about
    underwear showing through our clothing.

    Underwear? It looks like his heart monitor belt slipped.

    Wow, I completely missed that one. Jerry's right- look carefully. Of
    course, we don't know. He could have had a colostomy in the not so distant
    past. Now I feel bad for laughing...

    If it's the right sort of underwear, we don't mind if it shows. 😉

    The resolution of that picture isn't too good. I can't make out
    whether he's wearing Smurf or Sponge Bob Underoos.

    Note also the mis-matched shorts and jersey (while this is normally ok,
    especially for the Jon Hamblen, Jared Gruber et al hodgepodge pro team
    kit) that are from different seasons but same team, the GLOVES with the
    KNUCKLE HOLES!!, ball cap on with brim to the front (wow, fast), the
    livestrong bracelet, yes, the obvious under short rumple, the pasty
    white skin, the tone calves (ummm almost), and the gatorade bottle.

    Also, I am a short socks kinda guy, dont get the new long sock thing.
    But this guy manages to make short socks look fredly.

    J, this is a level of attention that should only be given to a young
    lady in a serious degree of undress, with maybe a bicycle to keep her
    on-topic. If she wants to wear her baseball cap brim forward, that's
    OK too. Having the capacity to mismatch jersey and shorts would, of
    course, be a fundamental contradiction to the purpose of the picture,
    what with one or the other being superfluous.

    If, however, you want to fixate on the bike, this is permissable and
    understandable. On occasion, even the one with the young lady
    previously described.

    That full team kit including team bike Fred thing is really big in
    Europe. While riding in France last year, I must have seen six
    different full postal guys. Three on Mont Ventoux alone! At first I
    assumed they were Americans, but when I spoke to them, they all turned
    out to be Dutch or German. Lots of T-Mobile Freds out there too.

    jacket on cold days)

  10. Even the great Stephen Roche uses the term FRED!!!! Wow, I feel
    somehow vindicated.

    Stephen Roche: Of course. I see Eddy once or twice a year. A couple of
    years in a row we went to the World Championships together. We rented a
    company car and went to be Freds ... (laughing) ...standing by the side
    of the road in all the gear, you know!

    Sometimes there is reason to worry:

    There's one that goes something like, "happy, happy... black and nappy,
    ain't too proud to [censored]. Only my momma loves me and she could be
    jiving, too..." but I don't think that's the one you're thinking of.

    Looking at the crowd, I have to say that white bib shorts over a
    long-sleeve top is not a good look.
