You've good a bad attitude.
How do we qualify this?
According to your criterion?

I think Pcad had it right when he said that we are all too slow and fat to worry about being worth the bikes we ride anyway. That is such a silly, unimportant thing to worry about. Being "worthy" of your bike or not? Hah!
