I really don't see that. If people ask for advice, others provide it based on their own experiences and preferences. Otherwise, there are forums catering to many types of riding and no one that I see is running around telling others what they should be riding. I mean, except of course for the recumbent acolytes. They do tend to proselytize a bit.
