"50 million Americans mountain bike"? Yeah, right. This "study" is
nothing but lies designed to promote mountain biking -- nothing new

So you have a lot in common with them then, what's your point?

Jason

I can only guess that the 50 million number comes from the Bicycle
Shaped Objects sold in Wal-Mart and Co. 90% of the BSOs are in the MTB
style. There is no way that a Roadmaster MTB style bike (a BSO) could
survive 10 minutes of real mountain biking because something would break
in that 10 minutes.

Mike insists that it would be your scrotum that would break, therefore
you should stay home.





I wouldn't know. I plonked Mike and Dolan so long ago that I haven't kept
up. I don't know why people haven't done that.

Because sometimes there is humor in stupidity. Art Linkletter once said,
"kids say the darnedest things." Indeed, he based a television show on the
premise, and it was a hit. He did not know what kind of crap would flow out
of Mike Vanedman's mouth/keyboard. Clearly, Mike's spewings are not material
for a TV show, but once you get over how sadly pathetic he is, there is a
certain amount of humor in the conclusions he draws.
