I didn't start this thread to be like "boo hoo look at me, I'm an overly sensitive rider wah wah...", I was simply stating that there's no need to hate on each other. I've only been riding for a little over a year now, and started to really get into it as of late, but the more and more I get into it, the more I see why the term "bike snob" came about and why someone said they're tired of the "scene" or "culture". It's the same with skateboarding, I've been skating for 13 years now and it's the same there, people always are hating on everyone else for some nonsensical reason, when the fact of the matter is we're all doing the same thing. You just come to ignore it and not let it get to you, I just thought the cycling community would be a little more tight knit, but I guess I was wrong. It's just a shame, that's all I guess I was really trying to say. It's pathetic how someone can't just do something because they like it these days because you're always going to have your handful of ****** bags there to bring them down and judge, when in reality, they're the real problem.
