I'm just saying that there is alot more to cycling than the cost or origin of the bike. There are the aspects of health, enjoyment, solitude, commradery, self confidence, challenge and charity benefits to name a few. I feel we need to nurture these rather than beat folks down. I actually thought the original post was pretty funny and creative. I laughed out loud at the garage door photoshop work. That's OK by me.

As for me......I have pretty thick skin or I wouldn't have even come out and called BS when I saw Rad pile on, Then came the good Doctor Pete......Oh yeah, I'm having a great day! I just wanted to present a reality check for some here.
