What kind of rider are you that you are called "Fred" in the first place?
Does that make me a "Fred" for asking? wrote in message ... Etymology, please. Why are riders like me called Freds? Fred Fogel

Perhaps a term of derision. ISTR 'herman' and 'pancho' and such from my
childhood (Santa Clara, '66) Do you self-identify or have you been called a 'fred'. Recasting the premise as 'Why are some riders called Fred' may be more informative. The 'like me' may be bathetic. There is, of course, homophonic phred.org related to cycling and with an explanation of its name. It also relates to the past and divides VietNam era from contemporary events. Your favorite 'foil' may be a bit freddish but not you. wrote in message ... Etymology, please. Why are riders like me called Freds? Fred Fogel
