I have no idea why anyone would get butt-hurt about your articles. To me this one reads like something that describes the virtues of riding to the trail, and some hot tips on how to get it done. I really don’t understand why folks seem to think that because one thing is good, they’re being critized because they’re doing it differently. Just because min-maxed bike is good it doesn’t mean a super bike isn’t awesome also. I gotta wonder if your friend has lingering doubts about his purchase if he gets all defensive.
Can’t two different things be good? I used to ride to the trail a LOT. It was good. Now I drive to rides, almost exclusively. It’s good too! Holy shit!
