-Superweek is dwindling but was still the most fun bike related thing I did all year.
-CX Nationals would have been more fun if the Hostage had been freed (Hostage take note for next year)
-I can finally feel the difference in tires; griffos are far inferior to fangos, but everyone else rides dugast.
-Single Speeds are an excuse, except of course in BMX where they are standard.
-Pit bikes are necessary at anything bigger than a bubba race.
-A wise man once told me that traveling was half the fun of bike racing, somewhat agreed, but more of racing out of town is half the fun of bike racing.
-Road or Cross is the best season all year; whenever it is that season. Mountain is still no fun.
-Everything is going to be bigger and faster this year.
-The Portland scene is a lot different than I had heard rumored. More stoopid less fast. More like this.
-Socks reminiscent of soccer socks for bike racing are stupid.

You can't forget that mullets are gay and so 2007.
yeah. ive had mine since 2007.
Is there a difference between 'learning something' and having an opinion? It seems to me yes. Otherwise, it just sounds like negativity. I don't think anyone who you raced around this past year ever used single speeding as an excuse.
I think an opinion is arrived at by learning things, so I don't really think there is a difference. It is clearly opinionated. The title is also kind of a joke. I never said it was an excuse made by anyone I personally raced against. Also, my saying that it is "an excuse", is way simplifying my views on single speeds.
"I think an opinion is arrived at by learning things". I strongly disagree. Emotion, preference, poor reasoning, etc all help form opinions. Fundamentalists and fanatics of all sorts however would agree with you (that there's no difference).
I still don't understand what you mean by 'an excuse'.
I never said that learning things is the only way to form an opinion. It is undeniable that learning things helps form an opinion. You're also giving "opinions" a negative connotation, which is dumb, because everyone has them. Try not to read too much into what I'm writing here. It's a bike blog. Yeah, I haven't made my entire opinion apparent on single speeds.
sorry dudesky. just being philosophical. trust me, i know bikes blogs are bike blogs. anyway, i was just sayin.
good luck with school starting up. hope the semester goes well. come down and ride some gravel if you want sometime.
