I have never insulted any of you, give it an effort to do the same.

66, its great that you have started that youth group ride, and no I was not aware of it, but you ought not determine that all groups are not capable of SS.

My group is a little older, generally 16+ and they hold up fine on SS if not prefer it. It seems clear that his friend is older therefore he should be able to handle a SS.

For someone with a life is pain avatar you're awfully sensitive to even the smallest of insults.
