Maybe it's a little to strong to say that we are "supposed to feel superior now we have a village idiot to laugh at," but there's nothing wrong with using these forums to poke fun at bicycle-related pomposity. It might even be helpful. A lot of us use these forums to brag about what we've done. This post is a warning about taking that a step too far.
