I trawl the CL bike ads daily and I always get frustrated with people who list expensive bikes and fail to mention the frame size.

One of the two guys who showed up was supposedly an 'expert' and claimed to have other mountain bikes in his collection. It just surprised me that having made it quite clear the bike was XL, and providing a link to the manufacturer's page which includes a sizing chart, the guys would travel so far not having understood that the bike was quite big!

As far as my inconvenience, there really wasn't any. I go to Sturgeon Bay frequently as I live on the outskirts of a one-horse town and Sturgeon Bay is where the action is at! (I went to Pick n' Save for groceries - that's what old people do for action, isn't it?).

Though I wasn't really looking to spotlight the issue of giving people your home address, that seems to have been focused on. I guess I'm less trusting than some. I live on a large lot in the boonies and we don't have neighbors. It's quite isolated and I know my wife is uncomfortable at home when I spend the occasional night on the road. I prefer not to advertise our location to every Tom, Dick and Harry - I just feel more secure that way. Were we in a more secure neighborhood, perhaps with a neighborhood watch program, I wouldn't give it a second thought.

Thanks for reading, and sorry to the one guy who felt I robbed him of his time It was just meant to be a bit of light fun.
