Names and faces to bikes

Ok. Fair point. Learning through insult is, I suppose, one method. I like to believe there are nicer methods but if a smack to the bottom for having your break lever at the wrong angle is your preferred way of gathering knowledge then so be it.

only through all the slating, ripping and general insults did i learn any thing about safe cycling, keeping a well maintained bike and making sensible decisions about parts. its fun to rip on people and they can take it so shut up
