I just think of the Nike commercial with Lance Armstrong and the guitar playing...
JUST DO IT
Who cares if you're a snob or not a snob? We all ride because we like to.
Just this past week I had a snob on a TT bike smirk at me as he passed me by in the park, I was trying really hard and it showed and he was hardly trying at all and zoomed by...
... then the same thing happened with a guy on a Trek mountain bike, smirked as he passed me by while riding in the park.
I did 170 miles this week, I don't care how fast I did it, I'm just happy I did it. When my legs are full of lactic acid and I can barely pedal I still go ride my bike.
Damn snobbery... or the lack of it.
