Oh joy. Dinner with John Kennedy (along with other local wannabe cycling luminaries), and having to pay for the privilege. Who says that successful cyclists have to have big egos to succeed? He won't be plugging his infallible money back guaranteed fitting program will he? No, I thought not. MH -- |

Old roadies never die, they just ride their races in reverse. And make sure we hear all about them, and how experienced they are, in all types of cycling, and can help you be as successful as they were, as long as you buy all your (second-hand, only raced two Spring Classics seasons) stuff off them, and trust them implicitly, and act as mini-domestique, praise their name to all and sundry, wear their shop clothing purchased at full price, put up with their technical malfeasance on new products installed by intellectually underresourced employees hired for their low-wage- demand rather than their skill, and then be treated to the effusive good manners and bonhomie of the shop training bunch when you puncture, drop them on a hill, or dare to question whose turn it is to get the lattes. M "possums stirring, fish biting yet?" H BTW, before a tirade of abuse arrives from said intellectually underresourced employees, I have walked amongst you, and you know which select few you are. Very amusing. Always thought I'd love to work in a bikeshop (or better yet own one). The amazed are-you-deranged? look i got from said under- resourced employee set me straight fairly quickly Will people at that dinner jostle for position to the buffet/coffee/toilets? Yell "car-back' when the dinner is coming thru or just stay head down and not acknowledge each other. Interesting reading the comments re Kennedy. I have seen/heard nothing but bad fits/wierd geometry from people who own them -- |

Suits some people - but what sticks in my craw is that he promotes its infallibility - it is scientific, so it must work. Show us the data points, show us the method, and let peer review, like any other scientific endeavour, analyse, judge and decide its good bits and bad bits. The way I have heard it talked about is similar to the black magic school of wheel building - secret knowledge jealously guarded by the cognoscenti, and high fees demanded for its vouchsafing. It's not. It's only a idiosyncratic refinement of what a lot of people have been doing for a long time. "Commercial in confidence", so beloved of right wing politicians and businessmen, has no place in such a democratic form of movement as the bicycle. M "My 2c, x 50 = $1.00" H -- |
