What it comes down to is this - pedal strikes happen, but that doesn't mean you should do it intentionally. There a very thin line between a minor hit that skips your rear wheel and something big enough to make you lose control of your bike.
I wasn't feeling insulted. I'm pretty thick-skinned, and one of the most laid back people you will meet; it takes a lot to ruffle my feathers. I was just pointing out that literally every one of ZeCanon's replies included a derogatory epithet, and appears (I don't know ZeCanon from Adam) to exemplify the stereotype of the roadie who is condescending to newcomers.

Enough of that, I'd love to hear more talk about cornering.
