There are about 3% of people who ride them and have actual skills, the rest just enjoy putting cards in their spokes and rolling their pant legs up. Personally I enjoy nothing more than to see folks eat it because of getting caught in the trolley tracks here in SF. The other thing I enjoy is watching posts on Craigs List for fixies for $1500 or more. U guys really are funny; and your febile attemp at becoming a "cool" roadie is not working!

The higher categories are pretty good at this these days as well, now that upgrading has become more about politics, less about results. They pretty much come to the sport with those abilities already . . . It's kind of like watching third graders play soccer; ALL of them chase the ball, positions be damnned. <BR/> Also, would you mind making me a list of the "right" reasons to race 'cx, so I can check off the reasons that apply to me, just to be sure I am "Surly Bastard Approved"?<BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-59449530145518087672008-09-10T18:17:00.000-04:002008-09-10T18:17:00.000-04:00Shill.Shill.Treespeedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657559636522054139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-25932655626361886902008-09-10T17:49:00.000-04:002008-09-10T17:49:00.000-04:00My winter training is going to mimic Lance's winte...My winter training is going to mimic Lance's winter training just post retirement.
