OP;
Where are the threads where the eating disorder crowd is jeering the people on their Surly's with flip flops and acid wash Levi jean shorts riding to the Fresh Market?

I will say for myself, I have bikes that cost me $1000 and can perform way above my level. As well as guitars that are about the same. I think it's OK to play TDF rider and pretend Van Halen, it's all good! :D

What? Are you mad because they may have money or is it the better bike or is it better clothing or are they just faster than you? Who the heck cares where what you want ride a nice bike and enjoy the heck out of life. If you want to sprint to the light go for it, if you want to ride slow and look at tulips, why the f not. Do whatever you want so long as it doesn't harm others.

I'd hate to derail such a valuable thread but I will die on this hill: John Cougar Mellencamp is a poor man's Bruce Springsteen.

They all are skinny and probably would be fast riding any bike, but when they invest in lighter bikes this get's them even faster.

Never understood this what this riders are all about, are they try to set world record in speed or something, i doubt that they ever will participating in any cycling sport events.

I know there's such thing as bicycle industry and marketing that popularize this, e.g. fishing industry for example and if you go to fishing store you see thousands of lures, hooks, and different types fancy rods when in reality do you really need to make it so complicated to catch a fish?

I know this is also some kind of popularized thing, but what is it all about?
