Is everyone on the forum a gearhead?

I've been a biker for too many years. Give me a nice bike with good components and I'll ride it and maintain it. But after that I really dont give a hoot about the wheels, components, tires etc. And other than wiping down the bike now and then and giving it a shot of oil on the chain, I leave it alone. These pictures of spotless bikes with clean chains are obnoxious. It used to be you would look at a bunch of racing bikes, find the one with the chipped paint and filthy chain, and that was the fast guys bike.

I mean brakes stop you, derailleurs shift the gears, wheels spin. And those darn computers. I know when I'm going fast or slow without a computer telling me about it.

Anyone just like riding?
