Disc brakes are here to stay
Cyclists shouldn't wear kit
Cyclists shouldn't go fast
Cyclists don't need that many gears
Everyone should be on a bent
Sometimes winter weather isn't fun
Something dumb about MUPs
If you spend more than $5 on bike stuff you've been duped by the industry
Something dumb about lube
Triples
Did you know that sometimes people aren't very good drivers
Have I missed any?

Missed the one about this is my style of riding (fast, slow, kit, kitless etc), you need to pat me on the back and give me kudos for having a superior style of riding.

i'm expecting to be in Lincoln in a couple of weeks to ride in the gravel worlds, but I think instead I'll go try to find people on recumbents and tell them they're not real cyclists and are doing it all wrong

His alleged jokes were never funny the first out of the 100+ times he told them.
They are a cry for attention. Glad to have helped him.

(ps GW is one of the most fun events I've ever done. Super challenging but also very well run and just a fun atmosphere all around.)

Remember not to go fast or wear cycling-appropriate clothing at GW because otherwise you've been bamboozled by the evil marketing departments.

Your post is what is wrong with most young people today. I was happy to have the job, the money was good, and on any call out I automatically got 4 hours pay even if it only took 10 minutes to fix the machine. I worked there 47 years, get a great retirement check and great health insurance.

If you ride really fast and hard as you can, what have you missed on your ride? Now you are home quickly, and now what? TV these days stinks.

Riding fast and enjoying the scenery are not mutually exclusive.

I don't think speed has much to do with how long a ride lasts. Why is it so hard for OP to understand nobody cares what he rides, how long or what he wears? An intervention may be needed.

This was a hard day. 16 mile gravel climb with 3,200'+ of elevation gain and then a gorgeous, paved descent. The last shot is the view from my "home" that night. No shower, electricity, phone or TV.
