Consider my 'smug' comment retracted then; it's funny how easily people misinterpret or project tone onto forum posts. Myself and a lot of y'all included.

But that isn't in any way relevant to the thread topic or to my previous post.
but that's how some people choose to commute! And so directly relevant to your previous post, which stated you can't understand disdain for how some people choose to commute. My point is that everyone draws the line somewhere, everyone can get put off by something another cyclists does. Relevant to the thread, it's hilarious when it's over something as trivial as equipment choices.
@
FBinNY - when did I call myself a real commuter, put anyone down, or try to 'set [anyone] straight'? You think I'm against this thread? I very fondly reminisced on my days of commuting via brakeless bmx bike. i think that's very much in the spirit of the thread, unless it aims to be roadie specific.
