so, HOT DIGGITY, there are cyclists in TX that cut against the grain. i assure you that your run of the mill major metro areas in the rest of the country are rife with cyclists who fit Vast’s stereotype to a T. The mentality that just because your little subset isn’t like that, it’s an unfair stereotype is ridiculous. It’s a similar mentality to that of my NYC jewish liberal friend telling me yesterday that i could not fairly assume that two lawyers based in NYC were NOT conservatives, because he PERSONALLY KNOWS several conservatives who live in NYC.
Be honesty with me here. How much first hand knowledge do you really have about bicycles and bicycle culture? I’m no expert, but I’m a life-long rider and employed in the industry. I’ve seen a bit here and there. A bit more than I’d wager most have.
