I was just thinking out loud, trying out that thought.

Is there really anything more important than cycling?

Well you should probably spend a moment or two longer reading your own posts. Saying that some newbie "has the important things as their priorities" would assume that another party has less important things as their priorities, and that you know what both of those are.

I'm thinking your alleged skill won't be a very good draw at parties.

it could be ambiguous, i grant you, but what I intended to convey was that the newbie has other things that they prioritise that to them are the important things. To a dedicated cyclist who happens to play golf on occasion, the cycling is more important than a non-dedicated cyclist who plays golf more and cycles once in a while. Just difference in priority given to cycling.

For example, Herbie calls himself a cycling sailor or something like that. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew far more about sailing and to him sailing was the important thing in his priorities.

What if Herbie just likes the sailor's outfit?

Precise language is not a hallmark of internet forum posts.

A replacement is pricey.

Neither is the acceptance of newbies or the endless rehashing of old topics.

Was he once in the Navy?

Evidently, yet they bleed in anyway. The ones that are able to run the gauntlet of scorn take their place among the sage elders of BF.


Quite a prize.

Usually wear a wetsuit. Pretty much the same as cycling gear, but more smelly.
