.. 3/4 bib tights. I think I’m 15% quicker and 175% more stony faced and miserable looking. Brilliant.

For me, it’s sitting up, and zipping up your jacket/gilet, then back on the drops…In my head I’m leading the TdF when I do…

Goggles on, shock open, GO!.

…being paid?

As I ride along I grab bottles out of the hands of pedestrians, then obviously throw them away due to health risks.

white bar tape (obvs) – wasn’t there a youtube vid doing the rounds years ago on this ?

Peeing at the side of the road.
Best to choose a quiet spot though.

Also having my two bikes having:
same suspension manufacturer
same brake manufacturer
same drivetrain manufacturer
same tyre manufacturer

same tyre manufacturer

Not really, pro would be a black marker to hide what you’re actually riding….

Flipping a +35 degree stem and putting all spacers above it. 😮 😆

shitting in my shorts.

Taking lots of drugs

The smooth taste of Marlboro

A flick of the elbow and dropping back down the line after brining the pain at the front of a group.

This but arm/knee warmers are faster

My domesiques refuse to push me.

Having your dad on the finish line looking at a stop watch and shaking his head.

My personal pro treat is fitting a new chrome lens at the start of the summer Alps trip.

Lol ^^ 🙂

Must remember not to look at my reflection in shop windows, as seeing the fat gut spoils the effect.

Oooo just like whatsisname, y’know, errr yeah – Froomey. Oh… 😳

Having your name laser etched on grip clamps & seat clamp, and on each bike you own.

3/4 bibs bring out my

backs of my knees in a nasty chafed rash

Being woken up in the night to exercise and get my heart rate up.

From next month all the furloughed people on here will be pro-riders. Makes you think!

Being able to fit back into my Rapha gear after a period where things were a bit tight
