Philosophically Speaking
And now for somethng completely different. Often we hear the expression, 'I picked up my new steed at the LBS and she flies'
Question to the group: Can a bike be a steed like a horse? It's just some combination of carbon/aluminum/rubber etc. Or, is it us who are in fact the steeds with our hearts, lungs, and toned muscles that makes rapid ascents possible? Or is is the meshing of the two to become one that in fact makes the expression 'steed' true?

Steed versus ?
The melding of rider and bike makes the Steed, definitely agreed. The difference is the size of the "catch-bag" for the dirty deed.
