Then share some wisdom, please! The only thing I am clear on after reading many of your posts in multiple forums is that a spandex-wearing clown riding a top-notch road bike ruined your birthday party when you were a kid. Enough with the negativity! Spread some light for those of us with cranial corks in our darkened rectums!

If I'm wrong, please correct me. I just can't figure out where all your hostility toward local bike shops and their patrons is coming from. ....waaaaitaminute.... you don't own stock in Wal-Mart, do you?
