Regardless of the original intent, the most disconcerting aspect of this entire thread is sheer amount of negativity that is exuding from obvious long-standing members of these forums. This isn't the "Pro athlete racing discussion only" forum. It's the Commuting forum. Cyclists should be looking out for and supporting each other regardless of what motivate them to get on their bike every day and ride.
oh for chris' sake, lighten up, Francis. Everyone else, including the OP, is just having a good time here.
