The cycling encyclopedia of the group.
Always riding with a well-stocked saddlebag and that unmistakable bulge on his back, he’s the definition of being prepared. Not because he carries an absurd number of spare inner tubes—just one or two more than strictly necessary—but because he believes every situation has a solution, as long as you’ve packed for it.
If something goes wrong during a ride, everyone instinctively looks his way. A slipped chain? Fixed in seconds. A mysterious rattle? Diagnosed before you even finish explaining. Need a band-aid, a small bandage, or a miracle? He’s your man. You almost expect him to pull out a complete toolkit or a tiny first-aid station from that backpack of his.
And if you’re dealing with an ache or tension, he’s the perfect riding companion. Roll up next to him, and you’ll receive a full consultation—complete with muscle explanations, posture corrections, and personalized training tips. By the end of the ride, you’ll feel as though you’ve had both a coaching session and a minor medical check-up.
All this knowledge doesn’t appear out of nowhere. It takes time—time he often spends reading, researching, and watching every cycling video ever uploaded. Time that he definitely doesn’t spend pulling the group at the front. You won’t see him setting the pace, attacking on climbs, or chasing breakaways. That’s not his role.
But his role is essential. He is the quiet insurance policy of the group—the rider who gives everyone peace of mind. You feel safer when he’s around, knowing that whatever happens, he’ll have the answer, the tool, or at least a theory.
Keep him close, and your ride will always feel a little more secure. Without him, the group might still survive—but it wouldn’t feel nearly as confident.
