When threads on the 41 turn into "gun threads".

Laterally stiff yet vertically compliant

Given the close connection with cycling and the frequency with with the topic comes up, a subforum certainly seems appropriate.

Hey mods! How 'bout it?

My pet peeve would be drivers who run red lights (in a city, it's expected that all lights can be run until they've been red a few seconds).

I'm certain it isn't that some cyclists break traffic laws sometimes that makes the public dislike us, because if that were true, they'd share the same opinion about drivers. There's more going on than that.

What's the problem?

Enough with the gun discussion gents, it's getting too heated as usual with gun discussions.

This thread was going along, um, nicely . . . let's keep it, um, nice.

We have one already - it's called Trollheim.

You're from Tennessee -- you wouldn't understand.

One way of thinking about it is that you can't hear your own accent....

Another pet peeve: motor vehicle apologists on bike fora.

Oh, I get it.

By the way, how do you know what my accent is like?

Amen brother. Like the vast majority of drivers don't speed and actually stop at stop signs.

To add to the list of peeves -- idiots who feel justified in venting their frustration out on me simply because someone on two wheels annoyed them at some indeterminate point in the past.

So you're admitting you can't hear it too?

BTW, I'm originally from Southern Illinois. Used to speak with a horrible drawl.

You are correct that I don't notice it, but I think it could pretty easily pass for a Middle-Atlantic strain (Maryland, upper VA).

Don't forget...most humans.

So you are a transplant?

Just by chance, I was in Northern VA earlier this week. It amazes me how little you have to get away from DC to get to places with serious backwaters feel.

Seriously?

Seriously.

Just like my wife.

Correct

Ouch.
