Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Been a while since I've been in here. I'll throw in a few of my current pet peeves. The accelerating on the front between puls and pulling too f'n long.

Some day again my slow butt will ride with some people who get it. Until then I will be reduce to squirrell hunting.

Might help if you used a resolution higher than 640x480.

Even though I'm far from being l33t rider I felt I must comment on this thread.
As soon as I read the OP thread I was reading one of my old gaming threads, once upon a time I was the 3rd best in the world for one week at one PC based game (I know I know) and I too seemed as arrogant as the OP did. I understand that you don't have the (lung cap) time to tell the noobs that they are brining your training level down or that they are making you uneasy.
But when you have the time to post on this forum why don’t you re-phrase your self?
You now have the time to teach to 'spread the word', to get to the point, after a few post all I read was ' I'm too fast and good to explain my self to you'. I couldn't find a single comment that was brining your OP in to the view of 'the noob’. Sometimes you need to think about what you are saying and say it better. On a side note for "grabbing them and removing them from the pack" well you gave all who ride a bad name, it's a shame because you think you meet like minded people when you have something in common but all you tend to find is the same joe public but in one place.

I don't like the "pot.kettle.black" form. Kettle is not a subset of pot.
