[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wtf. I get that I already don't like you because I'm a runner and you're a biker. It's like the Sharks and the Jets. Like Snowboarders versus Skiers.

But what I don't get is why y'all dress like Lance f'in Armstrong wearing a tight onesie with 18 brand logos. Note to self: you're not sponsored by Gatorade and no one at Starbucks wants to see your banana hammock in that Richard Simmons unitard that you think looks cool on your dad bod. It doesn't. Also, why the need to exercise in packs. Are you a wolf?

I don't wear lycra every time I ride, but I have worn it enough to know how functional it is.   A. Its made of wicking fabric.  B. Its more [b]aerodynamic [/b]C. The pants are more comfortable.

So I don't really care what you think of what it looks like.

Also while I often ride without a group its fun to ride with friends. Also its functional - the lead rider reduces wind resistance for following riders, and riders in a paceline will take turns leading.  [/quote]

This tells everyone you don't get it, PP. What do you need to shave .4 seconds off your time for that gold medal at the finish line? What's the gold this week -- first dibs on the vanilla latte at starbucks?[/quote]

This last poster is an a-hole.  What, you don't have any hobbies that you take seriously and enjoy doing as well as you can?  I think the PP "get's it" just fine.  He's doing something he enjoys, while you come across as just bitter.[/quote]

PP is right.

The truth of the matter, is that trails and roads in our area were NOT designed to handle the kinds of speed that these wannabe Tour de France guys go. Trails have speed limits. They are far too narrow, curvy, and trafficked. Slow the hell down - your ride is not a damn race. [/quote]

Well, but sure, that's why we ride on the road.[/quote]
