That's a great example of the English language.

I work in a shop that services their bikes and caters to their silly whims (and tantrums) on a daily basis. It seems to be all about bull**** "competition" to them and pretending to be some kind of athlete.

BTW - I was being mildly sarcastic and perhaps it seems I was generalizing a bit too much. I wasn't speaking of all roadies everywhere. If you read my post again, you'll see that I was only speaking of the weekend warriors around here - middle-aged chubby dudes on full carbon bikes that look down their noses on anyone who isn't decked out in a $500 leotard.
