Quoted message said:Given that a great number of "racing" road bikes never get raced, I'd
say that another moniker is personally reasonable. For most users,
they're a fun piece of fitness equipment, basically a cardio-oriented
substitute for golf clubs.

You are right...there are lot's of racing bikes out there that don't race. I
own one and I ride competitivly in a recreational sense (does that make any
sense?). Anyhow as to the moniker...how about lifting something from the
cafe racer motorcycle crowd? Muscle powered crotch rockets !? That woulld
delineate the style of bike from touring, recumbent, commuter, and MTB
racing. As to a cardio substitute for golf clubs...aren't golf and cardio
some sort of oxymoron like army intelligence? Just a thought. mto
