That's just it. I don't mind ... in fact, LIKE the fact that that people do things differently. I'm a bit of a contrarian my myself, as I'm sure a lot of us cycling kooks are. And the fact that it's rude, dangerous or what not is also something I can deal with. I don't like it, but heck ... there are a lot of things I don't like. What frosts me (and again, this is likely a personality flaw on my part) is when I can't make any sense of it. Joeyduck's comments and questions were actually helpful.

Smartass.

I love Waffle House. I wish they had 'em here.

No doubt. But consider this ... Are those with that personality more likely to buy the $5,000 bike and $300 kit?

You know what I think? I think I think too much. Trsnrtr has it right:
