Tool's in the shed

Sorry, just wanted clarification here. I have been on this site for 3 days, trying to find out as much about track bikes etc as I'm putting a bike together to take home with me to oz. Along the way I have left a few comments and made a few mistakes only to be pulled up by various users with salty smart arse comments left after the fact. Furthermore these are only backed up by other equally geeky users trying to make make people feel dumb WTF?

This has happened on a number of occasions - it strikes me as weird. I have loved and been involved in all sorts of cycling and met some great friends through "biking". I know guys who have ridden road in the olympics, people who are currently riding on the mtb world tour and a good school friend beat Matt Hoffman on a vert ramp at the suzuki worlds last year. I am fortunate to know english guys who run their own bike and distribution companies. I reckon I'm pretty qualified to say that, in general, people in cycling are cool.

I genuinely feel this is a site for people who like bikes, are interested in bike culture in many forms and want to converse with people on the topic. feels a little like high school (secondary school) when the library monitors buzzed around looking to find someone who had misplaced a book.......

So thanks to those who have gotten back to me on stuff, others however, need to learn some manners, patience and tolerance and FUCK OFF. U dudes give fixies a bad name i.e Geeks on bikes built for men with balls to be ridden at break neck speeds but spend most of their time on computers looking for more and more expensive shit to mask their inability to actually ride a bike well......

looking forward to spring and summer here and summer back home on my new ride... ride safe
