Remember that you are talking about the stories of the minority. These are people who think they have interesting (whether you like them or not) stories to tell and post them. The other 99% of riders are just doing their daily commute, dealing with heat/cold/rain/etc and don't post about it. If everyone posted a "I had a nice ride today" thread everyday, the forums would get boring. It's like books...no one reads about Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.

BTW - I had a nice ride today :-)
