      <![CDATA[seriously this is still being debated? Anyway here are a few titles that did NOT make publication: " Bicycle Race" F. Mercury.  " Carting wretched Foreigner Dogs around Peking in 1938" Xiou Xiou Xiou.  " How to ride a bike with handlebars only a foot wide and act like a tool" A. Hipster and of course " Its only cheating if you get caught" L. Armstrong. I find cycling literature quite scintillating personally.

      <![CDATA[And I'm pretty sure I recall a few occasions when Blabby has said cycling is childish and that cyclists should grow up and get a real vehicle. So whenever he rides a bike he's being a hypocrite. Not that I really give a shit; he's just a troll. When I waste time reading his comments, I try to hear a Ron Swanson voice saying the words and it adds comic value.

      <![CDATA[Anyone who doesn't want to read about something on Blogtown can just move on to the next comment, but Blaaaaaby has called huge attention to himself by having such a big chip on his shoulder about someone's comments. Pretty much everyone on Blogtown who read the comments on this post know that to be true. Also, it's called humor, not "derisive."

      <![CDATA[If he's an occasional cyclist, why is he so derisive of every cycling-related post on Blogtown, regardless of the particular contents? Anyone who doesn't want  to read about something on Blogtown can just move on to the next post, but Blabby has called huge attention to himself by having such a big chip on his shoulder about the topic. Pretty much everyone on Blogtown with a memory knows that to be true.<br>
Also, it's called humor, not impersonation.

<br>
i'm pretty sure i've seen blabby note that he rides a bike (with 2 wheels and everything) on occasion -- i imagine he just doesn't care to devote most of his waking hours to the subject and is tired of everyone being so blabby about bikes.
