No, other people understand bicycle frame geometry and know why it's possible a well-designed frame can and will allow a person's foot to contact the front tire. These people don't have a "problem".
[some stuff cut]
As others have mentioned, normal people "deal with toe-overlap" - but this may not apply to you. Good luck.

R.C. is either purposefully trolling (how pathetic) or an arrogant bustard (how pathetic).......I notice he mostly goes after "new" cyclists (again, how pathetic).
It's obvious. His mother couldn't and didn't love him. RC, we feel your pain.

Once again, I admire the "ignore" feature. And thank you, Dnvr, for quoting him without attribution. That's the only downside of "ignore" -- so often someone else quotes the, um, socially challenged individual and I have to read it anyway! At least you didn't give him any more publicity.

Just shrug your shoulders like the rest of us do and get on with talking to the friendly people.

This isn't his first time, nor likely his last. But, there is just a bit more history to this that I don't feel comfortable sharing publicly.

Okay, I am not apologizing for calling myself a newbie, maybe I'm naive, but I don't see anything derogatory in the word. That's what I am, and I am soaking up information as fast as I can! As much fun as this forum is, actually out riding is way more fun. And I think alot of my improvement(that's using my own yardstick), has come from information and misinformation on this website. I chime in as much as I want to, and just get so much entertainment, inspiration and good info from reading, I totally enjoy all of you! This is probably really good for me, because I am not much of a writer. I'm a bookkeeper, I do numbers.

Hey, I resemble some of these posts...... For the record, I don't "try" to hurt anyone. My posts are intended for my own enjoyment. I make every effort to be as accurate and interesting as possible when I post.
Curiously, most of the posts in this thread are indentical to my postings in their intent. Everybody feel better?
