The funniest part of this thread is that many of you that are hating on this guy are no different to the guys you look up to than he is to you. I applaud anyone who makes an effort to actually promote getting on your bike, and tries to help someone out along the way.
Seriously, the automatic attack that occurs here is becoming more and more lame.

But if you don't know ****, don't act like you do. You won't find me posting videos on YouTube of how to safely land a 767 in an emergency just because I watched LOST this week. And play flight simulator.

This guy rules. Check out this video.
YouTube - Complete Bicycle Parts Overview
He makes it 43 seconds without being completely wrong.
1:49... yikes. Also, I might be wrong on the 43 seconds. Is that REALLY the KHS triathalon specific bike? Er... triathaleen.

There's nothing wrong with being enthusiastic about cycling. And advocating cycling is great too.

The only purpose he serves on this forum is to be a source of ridicule. For people that don't live here, he might actually be helpful.

If he lived near me, I'd go ride with him for a few miles.
Then I'd drop him like a sack of bricks.

Looks like he took them down... i agree with BD.. no problem being excited about something and wanting to share but... have a clue and perhaps watch it back and look up the technical things to be sure.

I don’t think that guy is promoting the sport; I think he is trying to promote himself. He seems a bit off, or he’s doing drugs, either way he comes across like a know it all. I personally really dislike that. I do also feel a little sorry for him.

The bottom line is that for those that know more than he does, they can ignore him. For those that don't, but shortly will, they will figure it out. For those that don't and never will, he is a help to them.

I sent him an email telling him he was famous and pointing him to this thread. He was not amused. He wrote back saying we should all "get a life" and spewing many other things I can't repeat here.

We should get a life? Like doing meth and making videos of our calf muscles?

He responded, in part: "Hey, how about you guys get a life and a job instead of ****ing off in forums all day long. BTW, no drugs just trying to help us AMATEUR cyclist out there. I don't recall ever saying I was Lance Armstrong or Jan Ulrich"

No. I just said "Hey Travis, you are famous" and pointed him here.

You all should be so proud....
I think it's absolutely disgusting that the negativity of this board has the ability to extend beyond here.
