There was a blurb on TV today about someone named Kurt Osburn who in 72 days road his bike from the Guinness Museum in Hollywood California to the Guinness Museum in Orlando, Florida ... a distance of over 2800 miles. You're not impressed? Well, read on. Kurt, known as the Wheelie King did so entirely on the rear wheel of his upright bike. That's why he's known as the Wheelie King.
I've previously gone on record regarding my opposition to platform pejoratives. Ed Gin (Fred, JohnnyNoCom et. al.) are fond of inflammatory terms such as asshatchet and UPWRONG, the latter purposefully SHOUTED in all upper case was for my benefit because Ed knows that I find that term particularly objectionable. This slur upwrong belies Ed's prejudice and his disdain for those whose cycling platform of choice differs from his own and does not meet with his approval. I, on the other hand, am in favor of camaraderie in the greater cycling comunity and have long subscribed to the notion that cyclists should be united by what they do rather than divided by what they do it on. I believe in unity through diversity ... velo-diversity if you will. Ed Gin is entitled to his opinion just as I am to mine. Please note that the Wheelie King post made here was informational in nature for all to enjoy and was well outside the boundaries of the ongoing flame war, but that did not seem to in any way shape or form hamper the obnoxious troll Ed Gin, posting as Sock Puppet Fred, from being his usual adolescent self.
