    That link is quite interesting - it is basically bigging up any kind of cycling and any style of cycling - they think everything is cool, they throw in Stopping at a stop sign might be a good idea. However, as no one is without prejudice I found this comment buried in all the everything is cool, do it your way just cycle free love mantra :-

    Sometimes, recumbent bikes are ok.

    This appears to be what is known as damning by feint praise I can see the authors, we need to say something positive about all styles, yeah, everything is equally groovy - yeah but what about bents? Hey yeah dude, they are like so uncool, but we are being totally fair oh yeah like hey how about

    Sometimes, recumbent bikes are ok.

    Wouldn't go that far your dudeness

    When I reached the bent comment I actually thought the whole article had been written for that particular punchline.

    I was in Portugal once with Big Davie Whyte and we were unable to shake off an American woman. She thought everything was awesome. We explained we were interested in the 1974 revolution when the armed forces supported the workers and the dictator Salazar was overthrown. She thought that was 'quite good'.
