I contacted Travis after his post and told him, GREAT POST.You all had your chance, he deserves his. I don't have a problem with him venting about negative stereotypes he saw in print. The single framed, narrow, my way, I'm bigger your smaller, I must be right. Did you notice that a civil opinion couldn't get stated as references to bodily functions such as vomiting and throwing up were made. I too was disturbed and I don't ride a fixed gear. As a very nice man in MI pointed out to me recently, I told Travis to not paint the whole list black, many came out in support of the fixed gear rider. The conflict of man being tolerant is a Diversity battle that has been fought on lots of different fronts. I deal with folks all day long that are intimidated by anything that is even a pin prick different than them. And it is a damn shame. Walter, I too got email telling me to back off, and also some saying WAY TO GO. It is the MAN trying to censor the people, bring em on
