We don't like bike snobs on racing bikes, we don't like an industry that
models itself after cutting-edge racing, and 30-something
There are lots of similarities between the car industry (and how they
appeal to individual tastes) and the bike industry... and it shouldn't
surprise us that the type of person who gravitates towards sleek, fast
sports cars may also gravitate towards sleek fast sporty bikes, that's
all...

I'm very glad your friend had a good experience. I could recommend bike
shops here that likely sell exactly what he wants and others that can make
any of us drool. The people you can't seem to find are out there. I can
give you a bad bike shop reference if you want.

“I think he doesn’t like me, so I don’t like him” did a lot to get this world
where it is today.
Everybody has problems, and everybody thinks they’re right. Keep that in mind
when you’re snobbing on someone who’s different from you.

The young pup still has to learn how to pass someone with credit. First,
you blow past at *at least* a 5 mph differential; second, you control your

the live broadcast on free to air.The scenery is fabulous, the photography
is stunning and the peleton is a riot of colour and movement. What's not
to like? This year there seemed to be some human frailty in the riders

While I am not enamoured with them, I have respect for people who can go 20+mph
