I've never really understood why cycling was so secular either. It seems like roadies hate mountain bikers, downhillers hate XC geeks.... it's just the way people are I guess. Not everybody likes the same thing. I'm not particularly into road riding, but that doesn't mean I diss everyone who is. If that's what you like, go for it... it's not hurting me any. To me cycling is about having fun, and if that's what you consider fun, then who am I to harass you about it? I'm personally not into singlespeeds, but I think the concept is rather intriguing. But to me it isn't really practical.
