And that totally nearsighted and absurd statement brings this thread full circle. Mtnbiker66's original post had to do with the fact that we were in fact denigrated strictly because of the the bikes we were riding. No one was wearing a full face helmet, body armor, building wooden features, or shotgunning Red Bull.
We were just out bike riding.
People who perpetuate stereotypes are idiots, plain and simple.
