Dam, that was pretty good! I guess I'm the rebellious lemming. Doing just the opposite of what I feel every one else is doing? Going out of my way to do so in fact.
Honestly, I think we all look for a place to fit in. Yes, I'm very passionate about the type of bikes I prefer. And yes, I too catch myself pontificating on the subject from time to time.
Live and let live I say, but with this caveat;
I will admit that the "emperor's new clothes" attitude that I've encountered with in certain demographics of riders, simply put, irritates me.
