heck, Indy was being polite, I was going to say that I dont give a rats ass, but that would be rude wouldnt it ;-) ?
really though, for me too coming on here is for the same reason. I would add though that here in Quebec, Canada, the biking culture and bicycle touring thing has been popular for even before I started in the late 80s, and I would say that biking in general, and even bike touring is more popular today than when I started--so all that to say that at least in my world, there are regular people who do it and appreciate the adventure aspect of it, not to mention just the biking aspect of it.
Its one of the things that i love about Quebec and the French culture here and I consider myself lucky being here.
Also part of why I love visiting France, again the whole ingrained bike culture thing.
