You are the the yin to his yang, the snake to his mongoose (really? I don't know animals). <BR/><BR/>SB had an open style and seemed to be motivated by the making cycling inclusive, sharing the hard-won style of knowledge in an easily accessible way. Reading BS is all about the shadow side of mocking and hilarity. I honestly don't know where it comes from for you, but I like to read it as the willing opposite to Sheldon's welcoming style--the universal snarkitude that spares no one and thus includes all. <BR/><BR/>Or maybe you're just an asshole who makes funny jokes. I like my version better.<BR/><BR/>Somehow fitting that the bike today would be the bike that wasn't there (or was it?).
