Who are they kidding?

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

Who are they kidding?

Just to stir things up a bit, I ask just who do they think they are kidding? In the DF vs bent argument, how can recumbent riders claim they are having as much fun as a DF rider is? They are sitting on a lawn chair going so slow they almost fall over while staring at their knees, and we are mainly just awesome in general. In the argument recumbent riders seem to forget that most of us DF riders would never lower ourselves to ride a recumbent our selves and when they get uppity we just like to tease them like the dorky little brothers they resemble. From experience we know where of we speak.

The thread over there is running down, so it's time to start it up here? I guess Rydabent was successful in stirring up at least one or two people, after all.

Trolling? Who cares what they ride, just ride what fits your needs.

Why not just go ride something - anything - instead of starting troll threads?

I don't care what anyone rides. It's a spoof of another thread that's linked in post #2 .
