I figured I was docked for no front fender and only one headlight. Tho I did have a home-made fiberglass/chloroplast fender at one time, it just didn't seem worth it, so I accept the -5.

I didn't cheat him out of 5 points; I'm waiting for something Fredlier to come along, although I doubt there will be anything fredlier.

Hey, I never saw this thread 3 months ago when it started. I've got the stem thermometer AND the GPS on mine as well.

OK. This seems to be the week to wake up old threads. Doesn't matter tho; I haven't seen anything here that I wouldn't expect to see here.
This was my Fredster before it was stolen. Now I have a separate commuter and roadie.
Let your Fred Flag Fly baby!

Steel racing bike with oversized (so I'm told) fenders, mudflaps, handpump ziptied to the top tube, head and tail lights, cargo rack, and Armadillos, out for a ride in the rain. I also now have single sided spd pedals on it so I can have maximum flexibility out of my solitary bike. Too bad I don't have a picture of me with it. Hi-viz jacket and helmet cover, with safety glasses. Owing to the deficiencies of my sex, I cannot grow a beard, however I hope that my luxurious leg pelt will make up for it.
I have Liteweights spoke reflectors, but am saving my pennies for MonkeyLectric Spokelights. I also moo at cows.
Here it is kitted out for shopping with panniers. My neon orange bungies are ensconced within. Note cable lock around the seat post.
ETA: Forgot to mention - when it's wet/rainy out I wear wool socks that I knit myself. Does that add Fred points?

OMG this reminds me of my very first bike. I was about 8, and my dad said he'd paint it any color I wanted. I chose neon green and added lots of reflective yellow star stickers to it. Then I put on a bell and found a Big Bird sticker I liked and stuck that to the top. I'm pretty sure it had a chain guard and streamers as well. Also had a big basket in front with flowers woven into it that changed with the season. Oh and it had a bright blue banana seat as well.

Needs more upward tilt on the handlebars, and a larger rubbermaid truck container.

Thanks!!! It took me 2 hours to form the rear fender out of a crazy carpet and duct tape, I could'nt find a fender that fit on the market and ,as for the shifter, I didn't want to spend too much.
