(I actually am not a beer drinker, so his attempt to paint me as a snob in that respect is yet another failure. But I do understand why some people prefer craft beer over PBR.") And don't get me started on his bike view. If you're not riding a 70s Schwinn you trash picked or picked up for next to nothing at a yard sale you are an elitist snob who thinks people who are riding such bikes are not "serious cyclists." Yes. I have a really nice, one-of-a-kind custom ti bike. But I don't categorize people based on what they ride. The irony of his "reverse snobbery" is thick.
Yeah, he does have some interesting (honestly) bikes.

I ride what I ride because I like it. (Same with beer and food, I like good/unique stuff, not necessarily expensive).

That's OK though, I've been accused of having a strong opinion before and probably will again here.
