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

Oh crap, the Peloton Herd is threatened by the Armored Predator.
Quick! Run to the Cat 1 Hills!

I'm just seeing one lonely commuter declare war on an Army of Shaved Bros.
It's like a Wal-Mart 300.

It's not like this is a commuter vs. roadies.
It's pretty clear that this person is suffering from some sort of mental or personality disorder.
It's kinda sad that a sick person has been taken into the jaws of the 41

Absolutely this.
Snarky comments aside, that is the troubling aspect of this thread.
"Lets point and laugh!" Herd mentality at play.

You can tell he's nuts by the typography. ALL CAPS, underlines and lots of colors are always a clue you are dealing with the deranged. If teh text shifts to giant size for emphasis, run run run.

Eh, it doesn't look like he's mentally disabled. He's collected enough to be a professional tour guide. I think he's just a wanker.

Maybe, but it's not necessarily uncalled for. Word for word, I think we've still called up fewer insult than he's thrown at us.
And not to say "he started it!" but...

This is comical...the guy has a website devoted to pointing and laughing at others, yet we're at fault for calling the guy slightly nuts.

Sorry homes, this is the internet...everyone is pointing and laughing at someone else. Snarky comments are for comic relief. Lighten up and take things in stride.

I know that, but good of you to point it out anyway, because it's true.
The times when I used to "cheer" at such events is long past me.
I sometimes do recovery LSD tri training on my road bike, so I know
I definitely can't keep up such speeds for very long.
20-23mph on my hybrid is just about on threshold at a HR of about 165-175.

That was epic.
So... Shilling is okay for you?
How is complimenting a guy on his CAAD8 trolling or hypocritical, though? I own a CAAD10.
Love it.
And Arizona is the puckered starfish to Florida's wang.
Start rubbing pumice on your skin.
Bless you.
But it's a good in the hood.
Seriously, man up, start trolling his page/youtbe vid. Get all Hard Man and what-not.

Arizona and Florida are beautiful states, it's the vast majority of people that live there that are the problem.

And LSD should be properly enjoyed in the woods, at night, with a strong wind blowing.
