Works as a meme, but lacks any cycling aspect unless I’m missing something.

Cycling Fred?
Sure, “Fred” is used in a cycling term. But it seems like leap with a Fred Durst reference and play on words to a Disney movie… neither of which are bike related. A stretch at best, IMO.

Oh, bummer. I sort of disregarded the Durst part and just took it as self-deprecating poke at my own abilities/exaggerations thereof.
I shall recommence work on my meme game!

You are a lucky man 
I could share countless vids, but will spare you and others from what we enjoyed (or suffered) when he ruled the world 
Edit to add a solitary pic, to show the connection to the meme above:

Replace the MLB logo on the backward ball cap with a UCI logo then you’re good to go.

I thought about that, and even adding “vents” to the hat to make it look more like a helmet… to get it more “bike” associated
I didn’t pick up on the Durst angle, I think it totally works for Freds.
What’s a Fred? Is it an American thing?

Recently, particularly in the US, a Fred is more often somebody with higher quality and more expensive gear than his or her talent would warrant. For example, a Fred could be guy with little cycling experience who watches the highlights of a few Tour de France stages, then goes to a bike store and buys a Trek carbon fiber Madone in Team Discovery colors, along with Team Discovery shorts and jersey, and then rides it on a cycling path at 15 mph (25 km/h). Some use “Fred” in a somewhat similar matter, but more synonymous with a roadie poseur. Such a person is more aware of roadie culture, and wants to be seen as a roadie despite lacking in the requisite ability and style (whereas the other type of Fred may have purchased some high-end gear, but is oblivious to road cyclist ways). An interesting corollary for the poseur type of Fred is that if someone is worried about being a Fred, he probably is one of these Freds. In addition, it is this type of Fred who is most likely to use “Fred” as a derisive term for others. (emphasis mine)

How do we feel about the 2006 aluminum Trek 1500 in Discovery colors?
It does seem to match my talent…
