The problem with track bike is mine is not a track bike and I don't ride it on the track and probably wouldn't. It is not aggressive has brakes on it and is awesome (not that a track bike isn't just had to mention it) It is a Fixed Gear Road Bike and then I have a cross bike which is now single speed (flip flop, may go back to fixed at some point) with a front rack and dynamo with wide ass tires.
Your story reminds me of the time I was going to the store on my touring bike (drop bars but very upright, wide tires and had all the racks on it and a pannier) wearing winter clothes (most certainly non-cycling specific and baggier than I would want for a longer trip) to pick up earplugs, Twizzlers and some other stuff for an upcoming trip and some guys in a car yelled at me "Get outta here ROADIE". I was dumbstruck I was like "Huh? Roadie? Me?" I felt bad for the actual roadies who take such pride in their roadie-dom, I had been crowned their king by the divine will of some idiots in a car.
