Fortunately, few here have overestimated the levels of your insecurity. What's the deal with insulting an entire group of people you don't even know? What are you trying to prove here? That all cyclists from Kentucky need to look down on Europeans? I'm from KY, and the hills here aren't that big of a deal. Unless you literally commute 20 miles up and down cliffs--both ways--lighten up, Francis, and take some time off until you no longer need to swing the e-peen so hard. Not every American wakes up in the morning thinking everything's so goddam better just because it happens to be in America.
