They have an article on "cycling tribes"
Reading the 'lycra lad' section was hauntingly accurate, aside from the bit about wapha. They even talk about these are the types that would stop and help a damsel in distress if they have had a visit from the fairy. Also the lycra lad doesnt race anymore, too busy trying to set and break his own records..
Worth trying to pick up a copy

I don't fit the Lycra Clad Lad bill but I've been known to stop and offer patches, tubes and a chain tool to fellow velocopedestrians.I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.0 -
"To illustrate, there’s one, often spotted around the City, who boasts tattooed calves: one says ‘F**K’, the other ‘TAXIS’. It’s like the interminable battle of an urban Wile E Coyote and Road Runner. On wheels."
