Some of what you express in your post may not be an anti-roadie push as much as an environmental reality. Many (not all) on this forum ride exclusively in urban settings, and pimped-out roadie ***** doesn't seem to play well in the big city. And as MKRG said, we like giving each other and anybody else a hard time, so take a lot of the negativity here with a cow-pasture-sized salt-lick. If you can't mock, what point is there of going on?
