    Yeah he's a Fred. I can't believe his PR people don't have
    him on a USPS Trek 5900 and USPS team kit. Or would that be
    even more Fredly?

    I'll bet the t-shirts are simply campaign tools for photo
    ops. If he wasn't currently on the campaign trail, there'd
    be a jersey instead of a t-shirt.

    Looks like a long-sleeve jersey under that t-shirt ...

    Didn't they notice he's riding Shimano? Once they figure
    that out, they'll endorse W., for sure.

    he is from crashachusetts.. maybe he was trained by tyler
    (did you notice that Zulle crashed AGAIN on saturday and did
    not finish the TdeRom?)

    This is bad news. He's riding a bike so he must be doing
    drugs as well!!

  9. He's not a Fred. I would just say he's a guy on a bike,
    happens to have a nice frame, so just let him ride w/o
    judgement. (Maybe there should be another word for people
    who don't particulary care if they have the perfect
    bike/clothing/accessory setup, and would rather ride.) Freds
    aren't the menace that you would think from reading this NG.
    In my experience, stuck up [censored] racers far outnumber
    Freds, and do a lot more to harm the sport.

    Fredliness is next to spudliness.

    At least he rides. Acording to the article from the original
    link he does ride as often as he can.

    Clinton and Bush used to run. After a while in the
    Whitehouse much less of that was seen from either.

    We already have a word for that, now don't we? You miss the
    point entirely. Anyone that buys a race bike and uses it to
    tool around is a Fred.

    This is true, but they are still Freds.

    Hey, he's modestly decked out. Imagine how preposterous that
    would look with carbon or trispoke wheels. At least he's got

    He is a long time rider..and not doing it just for show. I
    believe that he has participated in a Jimmy Fund Annual
    Fundraiser in MA many times. It offers different routes but
    the main one is Sturbridge to Provincetown. The one thing I
    don't like is that his office sent out a press release last
    year that he was the thirty something finisher. Unless
    things have changed, I don't think that there is any race
    component in the event. Saying that you finished 37th is
    really lame if it wasn't a race. It is easy to beat people
    when they don't know that they are racing.
