See, there you go. I DID stereotype you. But you've done the same to me. You've called me a "fixie fetishist", despite the fact that I've never suggested to anyone here that they ride a fixie, and that when I talked about the single speed freewheel commuter I'm building, I made clear all the very good reasons why it was good for what I wanted. You generalised in another thread on the basis that I had been in a tricky braking situation in the rain that I was a dangerous rider who went fast regardless of danger. I've seen you in thread after thread pick people up for next to nothing. I don't know if some of those people have history, as you suggest, but I've been one of them at least, once, and I have no history with you.

If people are uncomfortable riding in street clothes, then lycra is probably a good idea. If they find they don't have enough braking power in the wet, maybe they DO need discs, if they find they want to get lower and go faster on their commute, PERHAPS drop handlebars are for them? Doesn't mean any of those things are for everyone, but not everyones commuting experience is the same as yours. Stop stereotyping me, and I won't go back to stereotyping you.
