He is. Don't write it off though, re-read it in a couple of months and you'll get more out of it.
As far as "The Dancing Chain," it truly is fun to follow an accomplished cyclist on varying terrain and watch the chain moving around while his/her cadence rarely changes. I don't see it nearly as often in group rides
Thats exactly what I'm talking about and its very cool to see people still really do it well. and becoming rare. I'm not one of them but I aspire to be one day...as an aside I think by and large, people aren't as interested in technique or form as perhaps they once were (or in some cases should be) ok that's pretty off topic now...sorry!
