Cycling in Melbourne Australia

Over Easter I'm going to ...

1. Fiddle with Faster PussyCat and make it even more Fred. Add fenders and another Brooks B17?
2. Fiddle with Kitten of Doom and add bullhorns with leather wrap. Bonus wicket basket on front? The details and honey-hues are important.
3. Go for a spin on both, although not simultaneously.
4. Eat buns, chocolate, drink beer. Relax.
5. 3.1 could occur if 4.3 gets out of hand and I totally forget about 4.4.

Sounds like a Plan.

You see roof. I see potential Brooks protection (see... got some Fred in there).

Looking forward to my next blink.

Strangely, I also picked up a 6 pack of that divine brew, after a very satisfying spin around the Wombat circuit with a pile of Adelaidean friends....

Comment by ChrisS on April 11, 2009 at 1:18pm: Fredness is indeed, a US import and can denote a willingness, when utilised in an Australian context, for the cyclist to take the piss out of themselves. Which is a Australian tendency. Maybe "Dag" would be more apt, another this could confuse and/or insult our Scandinavian readership. Although this could in turn lead to interesting cross-cultural developments, such as keen NZ cyclists referring to themselves as Fred Daggs.

Comment by fxh on April 11, 2009 at 12:35pm: While it is common for cyclists to claim varying degrees of "Fredness", such self-derision indicates a higher degree of cycling cultural-awareness and would indicate that the commenter is, in fact, unlikely to be a Fred.

Comment by ChrisS on April 10, 2009 at 12:48am: I was picking our other homegrown product today - the hops. The crop is a third of the size of last years as the Jan/Feb heat stuffed the flower buds. But the pollen smells very bitter and that's what really counts!

Although that does remind me, must kickoff a new batch of homebrew over the weekend.
