It's pretty clear to most of us watching you that you have the exact opposite effect, however. And we've pointed this out before.

Implying or coming out and saying that people are of lesser intelligence for riding DF bikes isn't the way to convince people to try these wonderful devices. It's a great way to get them to not try them.

Pretty much everybody on this forum rides a bike. Good. If they have issues with their current bikes, maybe we can help them find something that will work better for them. Maybe not. But telling people over and over (and over and over) again that they've made an poor choice in their ride isn't winning you any friends and certainly isn't convincing any of these people that they ought to try something new.
