Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bdcheung is a good guy. As I recall, we met initially on this forum, and after meeting on here he joined my team on a ride. Nice guy. Fun to talk to throughout the ride, and as with many good rides the topics of conversation varied from shooting the bull about work, school, bikes, whatever, to all business in a fast paceline.

Now he has an opinion about the forum, and gets a lame attempt at saber-rattling from some new guy who decides to lay down the law and write all kinds of passive-aggressive garbage about the "high-maintenance clause." Please. The self-importance involved in lame threats to those with dissenting opinions is staggering.

I guess the only opinions that matter are the ones of those invited to the "secret forum" to discuss such things... Ridiculous.

Wait. I thought the only opinions that mattered were my opinions. I learned that from my heroes Dick Cheney and Sean Hannity. I wonder if Dick or Sean ride road bikes? Not Dick, he's had too many coronaries.

Only if your opinion is directly related to road cycling. Directly related.

Maybe we need to yell at somebody...Obviously they aren't following the rules of the paceline. Or maybe we are being too elitist and all the Freds of the world are coming out in protest.

bdcheung had all his question about moderating answered in the Forum Suggestions thread he started.

If anyone would like to take this up with a moderator, please send him or her a PM to discuss your concerns.

Thanks!
