In this context, it's like I wanna call this forum "the Alphabet Forum", but you wanna call it "the Letter B Forum". Your preference is more limited than mine; it represents a subset of a larger category. There are many cruisers, and some of them are beach cruisers. If you limit the cruiser discussion to just beach cruisers, it's become limited. Have ppl really become this thin-skinned? Really, it's only insulting insofar as math can be insulting.

The term "beach cruiser", while popular with ppl who know little or nothing about bikes in general, holds little appeal to the cycling enthusiast, even those of us who actually dig cruisers. Even to those of us who dig beach cruisers! Because, frankly, that's a very limited sub-section of what cruisers have to offer.
