Because I know more than a few. And big surprise, the old fat guys w/ the light weight bike ($carbon/aero wheel sets) are still slow, and most of all, are uncomfortable on their $6000+ bike. But not a total waste. This was disposable income, and the bike shop/industry made money, and someone will get a nice bike at a much lower cost. The old fat guy will go back to more comfortable sports - like golf w/ his buddies.
