My, such a...<i>Your detractors are arm-chair hecklers</i>:<br />My, such assumptions you make. Critique is not heckling (look it up). There's absolutely nothing weird, out-of-place, aggressive or inappropriate about BSNYC simply going up to Cippo, introducing himself and saying "hello," shaking his hand, asking him any question that a retired racer and now famous bike blogger would ask, thanking him and wishing him well. That's not harassment. After all, isn't that what most of the "fans" were doing, along with taking selfies (no need for that, tho). Who knows, maybe an interesting conversation may have arisen. Isn't that what such events are basically designed around? I'll say it again: BSNYC has a long-standing "Cippo The Slime" motif running though his blog, mostly to good effect and clearly (to most of us at least) all in the name of fun and humor. That Cippo or anyone else would resent that or hold Snob accountable seems absurd.<br /><br />Oh, BTW Snob, I am in my 50s and also a father of two, and would have had no problem whatsoever going up to <i>Re Leone</i> for a quick "hey hiyadoin'?"

They just don't mean anything to me. I was once asked "do you want me to sign something for you?" and I replied, "no, do you want my autograph?" (he answered "no" by the way.)<br /><br />The "pose-and-photo line up" is almost even weirder to me. I mean, Cipo is a fount of oily humor for us all, but he's still just a dude. <br /><br /><br />Despite all that, humiliating yourself for a long-running joke is totally worth it.
