Pet peeves
1) people thinking steel frames are heavier, and slower than aluminum (weight) and carbon (speed), when it depends on a lot more factors

2) work funds bikes, but right now after my company being acquired, work get's in the way of riding, specifically commuting....peeve part is I need to get up a lot earlier in the morning to commute (if I don't have a 6 or 6:30 or 7 meeting.... to get in for a daily 7:30 meeting)

3) conflicts for weekend rides (family, seakayaking) again to large degree can be reduced by getting up early

4) I am not a get up early person

5) people who don't understand form follows function for bike specific clothing....... I am glad they can ride a 100 miles in Levi's..... I sure can't

all in all minor stuff. and life is good
