As far as confirmations go, so far the poll has disproved what I suspected instead. I suspected that most participants were only slightly more interested in "serious" road bikes and approaches to riding than other types, and that this forum is busy because it just happens to attract an enthusiastic contingent of general-purpose cyclists. It may get a lot of traffic on that account, but it's good to know that we're not ALL dabblers, and that there are plenty of folks who OUGHT to know what they're talking about here.
