> It's always funny with people having paid $10k extra to save a kilogram on their bike, and then show up on the Sunday group ride with a beer belly.

Ah, the smell of fresh gatekeeping in the morning. You don't know what road these people are on, just their current state. For all you know, they've already dropped dozens of pounds and are happy with their own improvements. Never look down on a fat person on a bike.

I didn't gatekeep or look down on anyone, those I'm talking about is me and my friends. It's just a funny jab at ourselves, spending way too much money and effort on things that ultimately wont matter. At least we have fun doing it :)

I'm a cycle advocate and spend hours a week fighting for infrastructure etc where I live, that I hope helps all kinds of cyclists.
