This reminds me of something! MTBer bashes roadie, Roadie bashes MTBer. Its like life, the dog (being MTBers) never gets along with the cat (roadie). Its the way its been forever and ever. But some get along, if they are not pot heads.

I would say we all have are ups and downs. And if I found you on the trail with a broken arm I would stop to help you.

And by the way, how do you break your arm when you taco your tire, where you doing something stupid mabe?

I do not use "stereotyping" for anything, that is just how you may want to perceive it.

:eek: :eek: WOW, ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW. Is this what you raodies talk about?:eek: :eek:

Even your raodie friends think its crazy

you ever hear the term "fight fire with fire":p

Ahh sucks for you.

Well, I would have stopped to help you. I would have carried your bike out on my back. (done it B4) When you started talking about how MTB'ers are all stereotypically punks or whatever you're trying to say...I'd probably still carry your bike out.

"A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities differing from his or her own." (Wikipedia)

How many roadies deserve a stick in the spokes for their attitudes? Probably the same as the number of MTB'ers. Tell ya what...if you're ever in the good ol flatlands of KS, email me and I'll show ya some trails with courteous riders. People who are more concerned with giving someone else the rightaway than losing momentum.

People that shout obscenities around here get dealt with. That's just the way it works. (you just don't see it on the trail, though) Heck...I accidentally ran a poor guy off the trail this past fall on accident. He flew off his ride and into the trees. I think it was a mutual mistake. We stopped and talked for a couple minutes and we were on our way.

"Have a good ride" we say...and we mean it.

That's just the way it is and SHOULD be.

I hear all these horror storys from roadies about dickhead mtn bikers, and storys from mtn bikers about dickhead roadies. Ive never encountered anything like that to be honest.

Either im lucky, or i just dont percieve things as hostile compared to some of you.

when i'm on my road bike, i hate my slacker mountain bike side. and when i'm on my mountain bike i can't stand my elitist roadie attitude. it's an internal struggle that's tearing me apart.

Do you need to be medicated?:D

I've been mountain biking since the late 80's (about '87) and I started road biking in '89. I was into BMX before that.

I've encountered all sorts, all attitudes and all prejudices.

I've had people throw things at me, or yell at me from cars when on my road bike. Yet, I don't hate all drivers.

I've had other roadies ignore me or refused to wave. Yet, I don't hate roadies.

I've had other mountain bikers scream, "Off the trail, I'm training!". Yet I don't hate all racers.

I've had hikers yell that I'm destroying the trail, even though studies proved differently. Yet I don't hate pedestrians.

I've ridden through horse crap. Yet, I don't hate equestrians.

You shown us who you are by your comments. Yet I don't hate you!

maybe. probably. for the safety of those around me, absolutely. never.

My medication is the blood of my enemies.

From what I hear, you're not too good at getting your medication.

Medication flows like wine - a tsunami of baffling proportions.

Now that would be an amazing story of beating the odds.

I bow down to you, sir *bows* with much respect. :)

I may not be very diplomatic or nice, but this hardly means that I am a troll or worthy of a painful injury and being flipped the bird simply for stating my opinions. Yea, some of my prior posts may be "harsh", especially my anti-Floydian ones (he's a doper and chose to abandon the path of God...the ONLY unforgivable sin). Yea, I lumped all mountain bikers into the stoner camp. This does not make me a monster worthy of the anger shown. Perhaps marijuana does not calm YOU down as much as you think. perhaps you are a gel due to chronic abuse of an illegal drug. I can only imagine the horror that must be your lives- wake, bake...go for a bike ride...smoke some more. Then, you avoid your parents so they won't give you grief about still being unemployed. You'd call your grildfriend, but thats right...unemployed slackers like you have difficulty finding chicks. maybe you'll be featured on an upcoming episode of COPs...in your finest wifebeater shirt. My arm will heal. Your lungs will not. Marley died of cancer....wonder where he got that...

Holy, that's my life description right there!

I couldn't figure out why everyone was getting up your ass until I noticed the post where you generalized all mountain bikers as pot head, geeks. You basically insulted everyone by your ignorant posts, based on the fact ONE person didn't stop. Sadly, none of your generalizations are anything like me.

I still would have helped you, even if you are an ass clown. I'm sure you wouldn't have been an ahole in person. How nice it is to sit behind your screen and post a bunch of crap.

Waa! Waa! Waa! Don't worry, help is on its way.

just ignore him he is delibrately trying to wind you all up. dont bite he obviously gets off to this and its his porn. pitty him dont give him the pleasure. :)

Wow, how did you find such an accurate description of us all? :rolleyes:

I definitely pity him, who wouldn't?

Sounds like the insane babbling of a meth head to me.

His drug references (Floyd, all mountain bikers) obviously are some form of cry for help or attention. I mean how else can someone jump to the conclusion that a guy passing him on a trail, representing all mountain bikers, is on drugs.

I must say, his one-handed typing is very good given the broken arm. Must be a lot of practice. http://forum.e46fanatics.com/images/smilies/jack.gif
