I give up.

Apparently you all think people want big, heavy, plastic-covered, awkward bikes that make their tushes happy in the store. I find that condescending. I’m hardly the one being snobby and controlling.

I believe people can think for themselves, and shouldn’t have to have to blindly accept whatever manufacturers are pushing.

No one has convinced me that they really love what the industry is putting out. They have only accused me of saying things I did not say (or think), and pointed out that you can ride centuries on a comfort bike. Well, yes you can. I don’t mind if you do.

I find it really offensive that some of you think any rusting conglomeration of parts on wheels is “good enough” for certain people. I want them to have the best bike they can get at the lowest price. I think they are worth it.

You guys complaining about me wanting people to have lighter bikes are being petty and ridiculous.
