I was riding yesterday at a popular bike spot, when, toward the end of my ride I first saw a nice red Cervelo (I think it was a Soloist) with nice aerobars, etc. As I passed I noticed that the rider had flat pedals sans toe clips and was wearing tennis shoes.
A short while later, as I was pulling into the parking lot, I noticed a P3 go by with the rider so high in the bars as to be in approximately the same torso angle as being on the hoods on a road bike.
Curious.

Leave me alone, I’m doing tennis/bike bricks these days…Francois said playing tennis helps with tris so I’ve changed my training regimen
.
Maybe it was a test ride for a new bike?
Like seeing a Porsche in a traffic jam…
You gotto look at the legs… Shaved or not…
Other than that I agree could be a test ride maybe? Hoping always for the best but I’ve seen Litespeed with a kickstand.
More like seeing a Porsche driven at 15 mph in a 45 zone by an chubby elderly woman.

Hey! I’ve seen plenty of really good riders and triathletes who don’t shave and plenty of wannabees who do. (I’m one of the wannobees who doesn’t–except for IMAZ (and Kona–if I can shake this achilles tendonitis.) (HEY!!!If I make it to Kona, I might even shave my chest!!!) !-P

Tom, I guess you’ve never been to Long Island.

My LBS guys take the bikes they are working on out for a spin in the shoes they are wearing at work. Usually tennis shoes or Doc Martens (or whatever).

If its automatic its OK, but if you have a stick, it really, really sucks.

Pienso que no. This was a young woman in fairly new, full riding gear (PI, I think), nowhere near an LBS. Her pedal stroke was not an LBS employee stroke. Good try, though.

Now, who in their right mind would buy a Porsche and opt for auto transmission over stick shift. Thats like buying an SUV with 2 wheel drive only. That just screams poseur…!
