What ticks me off is exaggarated claims of superfitness, superhealth, superman like strength and moral superiority acheived only through cycling alone
I have posted here many times that I practice other forms of exercise, including weights, walking, canoeing, rowing, playing with the kids, etc, etc. I also have a job that keeps me active. I agree that a variety of activities is good practice for good health. Strangely enough, however, I think cycling is the best FOR ME and presumably for most others on bikeforums.net, as opposed to a rowboat forum or a kettleball forum. I certainly don't have a need to go on their forums and tell them that they are deluded to be enthusiastic about their sports or activities.
And again, you are putting false words in the OP's mouth. He made none of the claims you claim he made. Not one mention of superhuman strength or immortality was made by anybody but you.
