Poser comment: In Europe...
Um, Tom are you an elitist? How is this any different than fans who watch hockey, football or basketball and like to buy their jerseys or team apparel? Are they poseurs too?
For the few, ever so serious cyclists whose zealotry doesn't permit space for others to enjoy the sport due to their narrow view of how others should look and act on a bike
That about sums up what it
should be around here. But having said that i've only encountered one guy on a roadbike who was riding it seriously.
