I'm hoping the BD haterade has all been digested this past year, but then again I'm sure there are a few people on here who still have some spit left in their systems yet. There will continually be issues with their business methodology, semi-questionable protection by the powers-that-be-moderators, and their fantastic prices (by price comparison of components, ignoring the 'brand name')

Anyway, Brent: congratulations on the bicycle - stay safe on the roads, out speed the cars and consider this the beginnings of your newly reinforced addiction. Hopefully it will lead to a greatly reduced reduction of your use of a car as well, but that's just my opinion & hope.

Edit: Oh yeah, one more thing - your wife sought this out for you. The fact that someone in your life takes that much interest and attention to your pleasure, health, and life is a very beautiful thing; be sure to thank her everyday.
