I'm curious as to why Creaky included "fred" in the OP subject line. I could care less about how slow or fast, but want to know what kind of bike is ridden and kit is worn....
I was just about to post the exact sentiment...

the guy bonking doesn't seem very noteworthy...let's hear what he rides and how he accessorizes. then we can decide on the fred-factor.
 
I beg to differ. Fred-ness is not just about clothing and gear choices. The move of an out of shape rider hauling ass (in a way that's rud to his riding companions) then blowing up and having to be escorted home, that's classic fredliness.
to me, fredness = dorkness, not doucheness...

you know, knee-high socks, ancient Bell helmet, steamer trunk size saddle bag, double mirrors...

what you're describing is poserness.
