re: I think I'm starting to move into the "I hate road cyclists" camp

As long as they maintain the posted speed limit I have no issues with them.

Since that never happens frick them all. They are the worst.

A close friend has a diesel and loves to smoke them out whenever possible. It's practically a sport in MO.

well here we go

1. amateur cyclists are generally required to wear the kits of who sponsors their team.

2. do you laugh at "wanna be at the masters" golfers for wearing cleats and golf pants or "wanna be NBA players" for wearing $600 basketball shoes & jerseys? its just cyclists who wear the appropriate gear amirite?

3. believe it or not, 100+ years of research have gone into what is the most comfortable and practical gear to wear when cycling. I KNOW SHOCKER RIGHT!? MUH WANNA BE TOURDEFRANCE SPANDEX durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

4. i stuck to early mornings and quiet roads when i was training particuarly on the weekends when you're getting in 4-5+ hours on the road to build endurance for longer races.

5. GFY its not your place to tell me where and how i exercise. sorry you dont understand the sport.
