Yes, yes, cyclists are very individualistic kind of folk. Generally cycling is not a team sport so the ability to play well with others isn't exactly a necessity.

Generally I skip the more acerbic threads because they sure don't add to my enjoyment of vintage bicycles at all. It does seem like a lot more people are griping at each other than normal, though. I really don't know why we can't keep the literary fisticuffs in private mail - maybe it's more fun if everyone else reads it? Sadly, I like ALL of ya'all - so it seems kind of pointless to turn spirited debate into personal bashing.

Do I need my flame retardant suit for Cirque this year, or what?
