definitely one of the whackier threads and inane arguments I've seen in BF for some time! Most enjoyable though.

Interesting that many of the forums get into these debates once in a while. There was a great one about the difference between "long distance cycling" and "touring".

The "living car free" forum gets into some pretty intense debates about what it means to actually be "car free."

There are purists and fundamentalists in just about every human activity- and they can get nasty.
