And thanks for letting me clear that up.

At any rate, I did point out that if the aforementioned fat men really have investigated all the avenues available and decided that they were best served by mimicking sausages wrapped in tie-dyed cellophane straddling 15 pounds of vibrating plastic, then hey, that's their business. But based solely upon my conversations with them, many of them really don't know anything more about the game than they've seen at the local Performance, I.E. you can do the vibrating sausage thing or you can be a Non Serious Cyclist. So at best, Grant is working to bring a wider and perhaps more enjoyable world of cycling to those folks.

At worst, of course, he's a pompous pontificating know-it-all. But I always like to think the best of folks. I mean, except for you lot, of course.
