Why am I such a fred?

Ok, So I do lots of fredly things. But this one is new. I was reading the comments on the “performance” video and I saw people making fun of something I do. What is so wrong with taking a drink from my water bottle when stopped waiting at a red light? I do this all of the time. It seems like a good time to take a drink.

If doing that makes one a Fred, then EVERYONE is a Fred.

I guess I’m a Fred too. Dang, didn’t see that one coming.

Guilty.

"Fred"...any serious cyclist runs the light!

You should be doing a track stand at the red light.
I suppose you could take a drink while doing the track stand though…

Right answer!

You take drinks during your rides??
You are a fred!!

ST is letting me down. You all must be effected by the a hole thread and are taking it easy. I expected some comment like “well you are a triathlete, so if you were to take a drink while riding you would likely crash. Better fred than dead”

Just call me Fred
.

You have to have the right gear if you want to drink at a red light:

OK, I’ll play along.

You’re drinking water at a stop light?!?!? A real triathlete would drink the blood of his vanquished foes. Pussy.

Aero bottle between aerobars and drink while riding in aero position. This way you no drink at light and people dtive by and say what the $#$ is that between his handlebars.

if you don’t put your eye out with the drinking straw first…

If your spousal unit/GF’s name is “Ethel,” that’s why you’re a Fred.
