How demented and odd do cyclists have to be to take this much time and effort to write cycling fanfiction while promoting disc brake propaganda with notes of Chad-ism and cycling through overplayed dentist cycling tropes that just scream derangement syndrome on their part.

It was less than an hour ago I reposted this reference to him. https://www.bikeforums.net/road-cycl...uld-i-get.html I met him in person and he was a really nice guy too and after I met him I suspected he was just yankin' yer chain. Never got to ride with him though to dial it up to 600 watts.
