Exactly how you would expect someone in their 60s to "get on" against 20 year old racers. You said I only care about overall results, I didn't, I said I would only accept an award for placing in the top three, but that is typical of the general population, only able to debate if they talk for their opponents.... I do have fun though, riding my choice of bike anywhere, around my block or in any cycling event no matter what is going on around me, and that is always a win, not surprising you would miss that either.........

Regarding the first bolded statement: So what? Doesn’t harm you in any way and if they have the money and inclination, so be it. Should people who can afford expensive cars instead be driving econoboxes because it is more moral to you? Or people who live in nice houses downsize to tiny houses because it suits you better? Interesting how you appoint yourself the judge of what is right and wrong.
The second statement is a totally bizarre. People typically use bike computers to record their stats - which again is a matter of personal choice. If they want to compare their stats, why not? Doesn’t harm you or anyone else. Pretty judgmental on stuff that doesn’t nicely fit into your preconceived world.
Ever heard of the expression, “live and let live”? It will save you a lot of consternation.

A basic tenet of human morality is to hold yourself to the same standards you hold others to, so by your standard you should " live and let live" and not criticize others, so make sure and come back when you learn to do that. But apparently it is okay for you to speak out on things you do not like about others, but not okay for them to do the same ??? LOOOOOOOOOL
Thanks for the laugh; I needed it this morning

1. Age categories in racing are pointless
2. Strava is pointless
3. Only young ultra-competitive guys should ride fast bikes
and now this gem:-
4. Criticising someone for criticising what other people choose to do is immoral.

Looks like time to close this thread before there are any more threats, in jest or not.

Right, you don't get it, and neither do they, so their genius move is to assign whatever the evening news has put into their tiny little heads, and remaining ignorant is what anyone deserves that can come up with nothing better to contribute to this thread. I explained the perfectly benign meaning behind my username to one of the moderators here once, nobody else deserves anything but to go on being the crew which regularly takes forum threads off topic because that is all they have the brains to do. Apparently that is the pool the moderators here are picked from too............because where are they???

We are too busy handling complaints, that's where we are.
The members here may not have as much "brains" as you but many are helpful to the extent of others being successful. Maybe this isn't the place for you.
