[RBW] Re: Appropriate Answers to Questions on any Bike Forum
Virtually every one of them would be equally familiar from some forums if they were all negative: If you think your bike looks good, to bad, it's ugly. If you like the way your bike rides, you're wrong, it sucks. I don’t need to spend a million dollars to have a great bike, but if you spend a million dollars and know what you want you’ll probably figure out how to screw it up. No way would I ever tour on your bike – whatever it is. No way would I ever race on your bike – whatever it is. No way would I ever commute on your bike – whatever it is. 26” wheels or 29” or 650b or 700c or 24” or 20” or whatever – yuck, that wheel size is lame and you're wasting energy pushing that around.

I like the observation that no bike does anything until someone gets on it to ride. dougP On Jun 16, 12:23 pm, Jim Cloud wrote: > A link to this site was recently posted on another Google groups forum > (Internet-BOB). > > http://surlybikes.com/blog/some_answers_to_just_about_any_bike_forum_... > > I think it obviously works well here for the RBW group as well! > > Jim Cloud > Tucson, AZ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I especially liked the last two statements: Stopping can be as much fun as riding. Lots of people worked their asses off to build whatever you’re riding on. You should thank them. And I would add, I am mostly likely to respond positively to posts which are statements of personal experience and avoid categorical attacks on someone else's experience. michael westford, vt On Jun 16, 4:47 pm, jamison brosseau wrote: > Yes > On Jun 16, 3:44 pm, Mojo wrote: > > > > > I enjoyed that Jim. > > Thanks > > > in sunny hot breezy not-yet-smoky Albuquack after a ride to Sandia > > Crest on the Legolas > > > On Jun 16, 1:23 pm, Jim Cloud wrote: > > > > A link to this site was recently posted on another Google groups forum > > > (Internet-BOB). > > > >http://surlybikes.com/blog/some_answers_to_just_about_any_bike_forum_... > > > > I think it obviously works well here for the RBW group as well! > > > > Jim Cloud > > > Tucson, AZ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
