Ok, this is cross-posting, but if a wrongly ascribed quote from the SB
cycling forum gets aired on national teevee, I want an right of reply
See below for what I posted to the SBS forum
www.sbs.com.au/cyclingcentra
Ibbo is perfectly entitled to his/her point of view, but so am I. I lik
Singlespeeds. I really really do. 🙂))

OYE!!!
The quote on Cycling Central progamme re: 11th January, was b
ibbo, not me
My reply below ibbo's first post was pro, not anti Single Single
Please SBS, get your facts straight on the programme befor

gee Tony, I tht the comedy started after the intro to the single spee
MTBers. I was wondering if it was meant to be screened on 1st April. bu
really, I found the whole piece a great tonic. it provided some welcom
relief from all that serious roadie stuff. keep it up Jim Trai
and Mr DMC, I don't envy your task of trying to be all things to al
cyclists in 30mins, but the 3 minute formula doesn't fit all segments
Jim's work within it, but give Hodgy's a bit more time. It takes a bi

Well, that's a main point of SS, don't take yourself too seriously. W
were at the SS Nats & SSW03 last year in Castlemaine. Beer, high jinx
international riders, men in dresses riding technical singletrack Th
male & female winners at SSW03 copped a tattoo. SS is a reaction agains
certain aspects of cycling AND a reminder of how much gawddamn fu
cycling is supposed to be...watching a guy ride the SSW03 on a fixie wa
a highlight for me...well why not..whatever floats your boat
