Fred and Doris !!!

Another unwanted import from over the pond

My wife was sitting on a wall drinking from her bottle one hot day when a Fred & Doris came by on their Mercians with leather shoes, toeclips, tweed jackets, knee breeches and saddlebags. On see Mrs Gti swigging water, Doris quavered: "I don't know why you're drinking all that.... you'll only have to stop and get rid of it!"

I had a strong feeling Doris said that to just about every modern cyclist she encountered.

On my road bikes, I'm probably a Mamil. On my tourer, I'm a Fred. I don't give a monkey's.

I am a part time Fred as I suspect the majority of cyclists are.

So am I. When I am out on the Condor I am cooler than cool. But when on the Dawes Galaxy or my Brompton doing the shopping or just out for a couple of hours pootle to the cafe/pub I am proud to be a Fred.

I'm not a Doris proper (yet!).
No spd's, mostly no helmet, no big saddle, no C02, no mirror ... must improve!
I do carry most of the other stuff in the picture though

Nope, no idea what this Fred/Doris malarky is all about. I'm happy to stick with being a wurzel on a bike.
