Seriously, can someone enlighten me to some of the common gripes people have?

Seriously, what the **** is that? someone mentioned a cool Merckx jersey there but all I could find were 10 billion links to cheesy porn. The whole thing was ****ing impossible to read and seemed to have more to do with porn ads than biking.
