Hey, sorry, but I had just finished scratching my head over some inane discussion of the perils of lycra to the future of cycling, and then I saw this question and I guess my "diplomacy filter" was switched off.

FWIW, I'm not alone in my sentiment, and the word that's hidden by the stars is only the s-word, and you can overlay the text with a mildly harsh countenance rather than a berative or belittling one...

...if that helps.
