BIKE: (no subject)

[Lane S. Wimberley]

This guy is just a sensational journalist -- the pre-internet
prototype of the usenet troll.  His argument: "my dad is better than
your dad!"  He's dying for attention, and hoping to get a rise out of
all the gay-looking skinny spandex-clad bike weirdos that he used to
beat up back in the days when he couldn't make varsity.

In short: he's a wanker.  Best response: no response.

What is one of the world's greatest sporting events?  By his
definition, most of the competitors in the *Olympics* are not 
athletes -- presumably because they "survive a single hit in the NFL."

<eyeroll>

I wonder if he'd consider NASCAR racers as great athletes?
