Certain types of threads attract the crazies -- especially the granola-eating, spandex-wearing, days-without-bathing, hypersensitive bicyclists, or in other words the exact type of personality that would equate a local ban on cycling in certain areas with a totalitarian regime bent on ethnic cleansing and extermination of non-Aryans. So your post kind of stood out like a red flag, and even though you've been FReeping since before algore invented the internet some of us aren't so familiar with you that we would intuitively recognize the sarcasm.
And perhaps it was lazy of us not to click on your screen name and then peruse your posting history to ascertain whether you were a granola-eating, spandex-wearing Volvo driver with a bike-rack and a "share the road" bumpersticker, or just a normal joe posting a sarcastic remark to ridicule such folks.
So on behalf of the rest of the posters who did not immediately recognize that you bathe regularly and eschew spandex and granola, please accept this apology for taking your sarcastic post at face value and responding to you in that vein.
that was beautiful. we are soulmates. ; )
Hey packrat.....he thinks algore invented the internet.
Go get him!! He must be one of those friggin loons!
I'm a carnivorous, spandex-wearing, Ford driver with a bike rack and "Share the road" bumper sticker. In other words, your stereotype blows.
