What is the Dumbest BF Question Ever Posed?
What's the dumbest Road Cycling question EVER?
If somebody feels slighted by this thread, don't be, after all, as we are fond of pointing out on BF, the only dumb questions are the ones you ask. And we are all capable of idiocy, and we are all guilty of it at times. After all, that's what makes cycling fun. It's stupid. The entire world generally thinks we're all lycra clad ****/idiots. But of course, they don't know what we know.
What exactly is that? Ah, but that's another thread. For now stick to the dopey questions. Links a plus.

The thread from last night about the balls being cold has to be up there and I havent even been here long. It was the funniest thread I've read so far.

Pixie you could never appreciate the sensitive subject of a man's goods and prizes, I mean your a woman... you all have no feelings so I'm not surprised.

It's got to be a contest between...
any question posted in the Road forum with Recumbent in the text, or
any question posted in the C&V forum asking about converting a '70s rode bike to a fixie, or
any question posted in the Advocacy and Safety forum

I read a post on another forum by a guy asking why, after many, many hours of trying, he couldn't ride his rollers. Everyone thought it was his technique. Turned out he hadn't stretched the drive band over the front roller.
