NEW VIDEO HERE:

--the same guys as in the Lance video. Now that they're in lycra and more 'like you' do you hate them less?! More?! The same?!

BUT: "Why don't they get a geared bike?! Howcome they'd want to even try that on a track bike?! (They completed the entire Tour, incidentally). Don't they know they're idiots for spinning down hills like that?! What kind of crazy kid would try to mash up hills with one gear?!"

AND: "Why do those kids play that darned 'rock n roll' music so loudly?! Why don't you worship my God?! Why can't everyone have the same skin color as I?!

A bike is a bike is a bike... maybe try and embrace all cycling and cyclists and try to hate a little less. The MASH guys did not see one of you riding with Lance, or doing the Tour of California on your road or fixed gear bike. However, the MASH guys respect all of you and hope you enjoy riding your bikes as much as they do theirs.

Enjoy.
Ummm, ok. So you think trying to quell the supposed animosity between riders of different disciplines is to show off the fact they rode with Lance and others haven't? Then on top of it you post this with attitude, don't wonder why others wouldn't appreciate this; it's the equivalent of handing someone a gift with an insulting card. Posting this with a simple "enjoy" would have been too easy I guess. Take your own advice and be respectful by not instigating.
