They are riding utility bikes for transportation and most of them know about as much about bikes as your typical housewife knows about the internal workings of her blender or her soccer van. Does owning a blender or having a van make you an expert on those machines, does riding a POS 50 pound slug through the streets of Bombay like my customer I have in this week does every day make him an expert cyclist, dude, get real.

I have a comfort bike also with a high bar but I am not riding my Pinarello around with the seat down on the top tube and my bars extended with an extender piece either. And you know, I don't have any springs on my saddles either.
