I'll admit, I was a bike snob at first! Not that I had anything to be really proud of! I bought the cheapest Trek 1000 road bike in the store. I've since learned that we're all different. Lifestyles, likes/dislikes, budgets, etc. We just NEED to do what makes us happy. If happy means I drag the rusty old 3 speed tucked away in my moms shed that hasn't seen the light of day in 20 years, then so be it!

Someone that will probably get looked down upon by the bike snobs soon as I'm turning my current road bike into a single speed, getting a MTB later this month, and getting a new road bike in the spring. I can't image what "bike snobs" will think when I fly by them on my SS complete with streamers!
