    He should have just taken the blade to the motorists
    themselves.

    I could understand if his tyre slashing was done against
    cars that had done something to him. But indiscriminately
    attacking all cars isn't fair. Some drivers do the right
    thing by cyclists, in fact some ARE cyclists too. I know
    it's hell on the roads on a bicycle, but he can't have had
    500 drivers do something against him in just 10 days.

    What makes you think this guy was a roadie? He got splashed
    by a car on his bike. He could have been riding his MTB on
    the road on the way to his local trail for all you know. Or
    the car could have been off road.

    Don't jump to conclusions or make stupid generalizations.

    Lighten up. What are you a damn roadie or sumfin'. Mountain
    bikers don't sweat a little water on the leg.

    Boyd...are you Ashley Carpenter? Or are you just hyper-

    Wow, making fun of my name... how very junior high
    schoolish.

    As to your question:

    No, I just think its rather immature to pigeon-hole peeps
    into convenient little sects (ie., "roadie" or "MTBer"😉 in
    order to more easily chastise them. Believe it or not, most
    people are more complex than that.

    Grow up.

    I think it was a play on "road rage", Thinskin.

    This would be the roadie from Florida who was looking for 5"
    FS recommendations a couple of weeks ago.

    Not to mention that poseurs exist on road bikes and
    mountain bikes.

    We just like to have a little prejudice humour flying
    around. Believe it or not, most people have a better sense
    of humour and don't take themselves as seriously as you.

    Grow up.
