Originating from the word combination of bike path and athlete / triathlete, a PATHLETE is a cyclist who rockets down bike paths in full race
gear, blowing by kids, old ladies,
dogs, strollers.
The Pathlete does not actually however compete in organized activities, just a poser trying to impress the uneducated.
Massive egos and superiority complexes rule the pathletes.
Pathletes
ride the newest, fastest, shiniest - but are still the slowest - in groups - which is why they always
ride alone.
Should they ever enter a race, they would be crushed by other racers.
Rider 1: "That jackass just about ran over that
kid! It's noon on Sunday - why is he
flying down the
bike path like that??"
Rider 2: "Dude, that's a pathlete."
