Wow. Just found out about this. Anyone want to split the bid?

Just read a fantastic post from BikeSnobNYC
And another thing...
I keep reading these hilarious posts on BikeSnobNYC. I'm stealing this text to post here and hoping I don't get in trouble for it. This is from an article about cyclists in Autumn. Check out the whole article here. I'm sad to say that it sounds a little familiar.
The Serious Roadie
Even the serious roadie takes some time every year to relax. He's no longer worrying about the season that's just passed, and he's not yet preparing for next season. He's just having fun. As it happens, this period of relaxation was last Thursday, from 12:00 to 4:30, and if you're a roadie worth your embrocations then you're well into training for next year's meaningless park races. At this time of year The Serious Roadie can be seen riding alone, or he can be seen riding with other identically-clad cyclists in tight formations designed to discourage any sort of autonomy or enjoyment. The Serious Roadie has temporarily downgraded from his $2,000 carbon race wheels to his $1,200 aluminum training wheels. He's also got either a Power Tap or an SRM, he's watching his watts more carefully than a security guard at a lightbulb factory, and he is under strict instructions from a highly-paid coach that he is not to ride hard lest he inadvertently compromise his chances for a top-20 finish in a Tuesday night Cat 4 training race, or, worse yet, enjoy himself. And if his spirit is not yet broken completely, or if he doesn't quite trust himself, he might even be riding a pair of Power Cranks, the cycling equivalent of a Victorian anti-masturbation device.

I'd love to ride with CSC! I'll just have to get a new bike. I sure would hate to show up on something that everyone else was riding. I don't think the cycling snob would approve.
I saw that bike snob post the other day. HILARIOUS!
