although you are correct,
i think this smacks of the exclusive attitude (read: borderline elitist) we're trying to avoid here, both in this forum, and as a community of cyclists.
isn't everyone always saying "its not what you ride, but that you ride that counts"?
would you willingly turn away one who came to watch the craziness unfold?
no of course not.

that does not however, mean that I wouldn't prefer, or won't for that matter, to show up with a nice little fix of my own.

this is all just "hypothetical" you dig?
