I have been getting them since 1971, and much better quality than anything I have purchased in Canada/USA.

It seems like you are still in a mode of trying to belittle folks with ideas outside of your mindset? I guess there will always be close-minded folks. Or are you just practicing some trolling/goading skills? NNTR as I am just wondering

Maybe you are bored? Bicycling (and doing it really hard and fast) helps overcome boredom and releases endorphins that may be good for you. Why not give it a shot. Better yet, for a real challenge do it on a unicycle!

Happy trails.
