I never carry a PRK or check my tyre pressure.
How ridiculous! I get my soigneurs and mechanics to do that for me.

The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
I check my tyre pressures every 5 minutes or so, even when not riding the bike - you can't be too careful

Thank you, you are a gentleman as well as a cyclist.

Anyone who rides a bike.I commute once or twice a week (54km round trip), ride most sundays between 60 and 70 km with occasional 100km rides and nip to the shops on occasion. I have a road bike, a hybrid and a mountain bike. I have lycra and baggies. I am also 17.5 stone and 5'11, ex rugby and judo player so don't always feel like a real cyclist. What is a real cyclist?, is it the lycra clad road warrior, the year-round commuter, the families enjoying a ride on the tow path? Is a 'real' cyclist aware of the environment or health or is it just some thing they do without thinking?
To friends and coworkers I am a real cyclist, to other cyclist, who knows or indeed cares. To myself, I'll get away with it while I can!
Just thought I would gauge other peoples thoughts on what is a 'real' cyclist

Which is why I use real time pressure monitors.
Real cyclists don't mount new equipment on their bikes until they have lost the weight of that item in body mass.
Amputation if absolutely necessary.
