    Campagnolo Electronic Gear System for 2011

    Don't worry kiwirider, you're in good company. I was around when clipless pedals were introduced. There were detractors. Even Sean Kelly held out for a long time. I was around when index shifting was introduced. There were detractors. It took Campy forever and a day to get something...

    McBikeshops Suck

    Bingo! If a LBS wants to be competitive --at least with the mid to high end market -- they need to focus on service and attention to detail. They certainly can't compete on price... In the classic sales book, "How to Master the Art of Selling," Tom Hopkins goes into great detail about what he...

    Should Schleck consider himself second if Contador is suspended?

    Seriously, does anyone really think of Oscar Pereiro as the winner of '06 Tour?

    Are you a Vegetarian?

    Uh...no. I don't think McDonalds or KFC have anything to do with living in accordance with our evolutionary path, lol. I do. Do you? Actually, a more relevant question is if you know the origins and ecological side effects resultant of ALL the food you consume -- not just meat. Animal...

    Are you a Vegetarian?

    Are you suggesting there is zero evidence as to what our ancestors ate? Do you really think the foods we have consumed for the better part of 2.6 million years has had no effect on our genetic profile? Did you know that 99.99 percent of the human genome is identical to our ancestors of...

    Are you a Vegetarian?

    Living your passion is a good thing. Basing your diet on it is not. I've said it before and I'll say it again: vegetarians (or any food extremists) are not living in accordance with our evolutionary path. How long you can fool mother nature depends on the individual. Wiki on fructose...

    Are you a Vegetarian?

    Neither am I. None of us would be here had we not evolved eating animal protein and fat.

    Look at me, I am a Vegan! Can I persuade you to become one too?

    About as much sense as avoiding animal protein/fat. ;)

    Are you a Vegetarian?

    Evolution. Embrace it. Or for god's sake (pun intended), read up on it a bit. http://www.nsta.org/about/positions/evolution.aspx

    Are you a Vegetarian?

    Here is a book for you Poly, since I'm sure you are interested in helping others seek out the best information, and not just promoting some wacky agenda :rolleyes: Nutritional Anthropology: Contemporary Approaches to Diet and Culture Read the chapter entitled Nutrition and Health in...

    Are you a Vegetarian?

    The onus is not on me to provide the superiority of of animal based protein. It has been our friend for 2.6 million years. In fact, it is silly to think we would even be here without animal based protein. The burden of proof lies with anyone claiming plant based proteins are somehow...

    Poll: Who eats steak before a BIG race?

    Technically incorrect, but props to the meat haters out there. They sure are a committed bunch. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4327741/

    Are you a Vegetarian?

    More nonsense. Plant based proteins = 3rd world proteins. There is a reason our species evolved on animal based proteins. You need to step back from this identity you've created for yourself (it's always in the screen name or signature with the vegetarians, isn't it? lol), and take some time...

    Nonsense. :rolleyes:
