Another step in making cycling a "petro-tainment" sport...

Things being referred to as "pure sex": hyperbole much?

Tyler's a great dude to deal with; I'm always happy to support a company like Twenty6. My only real complaint about the pedals (and the true reason I haven't bought a set...and it's not the $$$): they're really too pretty to ride. Silly reason, I know, but there is such a thing as "too boutique." Love my F1 stem and matching end-plugs.

Bikes is bikes, even recumbents. No need to hate just because it's not your "scene."

It'll be a while since he doesn't ride a Monty...

And sorry about posting the same thing twice...

Trying to decide what "kind" of rider you are is so much pointless navel-gazing. This article is like the age-old argument of "What's punk?" There's no point in trying to debate it. No two people are going to give you the same answer. Both "punk" and "freeride" are just words in the end, not the ethos of the "thing." Up until the late '90s, I don't remember labeling the riding it was doing; I just enjoyed being out riding/beating up my bike. Did coining the term "freeride" have any effect on what I was doing? Negative; riding was just riding. Does competition have any bearing on my riding?! Other than the roundabout way of driving innovation, the simple answer is "No!" Whatever your style/attitude/etc., just go out and enjoy riding your bike, and if you're doing it to be "cool," there are cooler things out there...
