I understand what you are saying, but don't you think responding in that manner was a little needlessly glib? I'm new to bicycles/cycling, but I find mechanics and mechanical engineering sorts of things very interesting in their own right. Moreover, I don't really think discussing theoretical questions and riding bicycles are mutually exclusive, it isn't a zero-sum game.
