Okay, enough with the scooter talk. Go to VespaForums.net if you want to arge about that.
Anyway, what I find amusing and wrong about this whole thread is the premise that Those People Wearing Lycra aren't commuters.
Go to the Road Racing forum and do a search on mileage. Those guys are posting some pretty high figures. Most of them work and have families. How do you think they're able to get in the kind of mileage necessary to be competitive if not for riding to work?
