Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bikes, Fashion & Grammar.....
This is the Bike Forum, bike talk is what I come here for.
Not the fashion police or a test on grammar.
Get real and get over yourself.

If poor appearance and communication does not bother you why does our opinions?

You get an A+ for being able to spell lose. That rarely happens on BF.
