I see this a lot in triathlon. The middle aged fats are trying to get into something athletic I guess so they buy the nicest bike out there so they can float/walk their way through the swim, coast their way through the bike, and walk/waddle the run portion of a sprint triathlon(300y, 10m, 5k). I have a shitty nearly 10 year old tri bike that is frankensteined together and I'm faster than all of them.
