ROFL. Some people are utterly clueless.
There's so much hive "thinking" in this sport, I wonder if it was simply a knee-jerk reaction. "Look he's got a big gear, he must be a weakling!" Oh well I bet they turned their computers off so the stroll wouldn't affect their fredly average speeds that they'll no doubt be bragging online about later.
