Hi,
There was a blurb on TV today about someone named Kurt Osburn who in 72
days road his bike from the Guinness Museum in Hollywood California to
the Guinness Museum in Orlando, Florida ... a distance of over 2800
miles. You're not impressed? Well, read on. Kurt, known as the
Wheelie King did so entirely on the rear wheel of his upright bike.
That's why he's known as the Wheelie King.

Readership,
I've previously gone on record regarding my opposition to platform
pejoratives. Ed Gin (Fred, JohnnyNoCom et. al.) are fond of
inflammatory terms such as asshatchet and UPWRONG, the latter
purposefully SHOUTED in all upper case was for my benefit because Ed
knows that I find that term particularly objectionable. This slur
upwrong belies Ed's prejudice and his disdain for those whose cycling
platform of choice different form and does not meet with Ed's approval.
I am in favor of caaderie in the cycling brotherhood and have long
subscribed to the notion that cyclists should be united by what they do
rather than divided by what they do it on. I believe in unity through
diversity ... velo-diversity if you will. Ed Gin is entitled to his
opinion just as I am to mine. Please not that the Wheelie King post
made here was informational in nature for all to enjoy and was well
outside the boundaries of the ongoing flame war, but that did not seem
to in any way shape or form hamper the obnoxious troll Ed Gin, posting
as Sock Puppet Fred, from being his usual adolescent self.

Yo JimmyMac,
Did you lube up his asshatchet leather slither for that ride.
2800 miles is a long way to go on an UPWRONG with no
JimmyMac linseed lube.
