You're kidding, right? I seem to recall only 1 or 2 people arguing that France is bad.

There are no Conundrums [ In reply to ]

There are no conundrums - just people who refuse to accept that they may be wrong, people who refuse to admit someone else has a good idea, people who refuse to accept that facts are facts no matter what PRO, MOPer or BOPer tries to convince otherwise.

Quite simply:
  1. There is a god. (problem is the devil started religeons)
  2. Weights used for strength training serve no purpose for improving traithlon performance.
  3. PC's are not bad - they are just not as good as some people say they are, and will not change cycling as we know it.
  4. USAT - Bad people involved in what could be a good organisation.
  5. Medicine is bad.
  6. France is good, most french are good, some ruin it for everyon else, by and large USA is the worst Country in the World - ruining more peoples live world wide then any other country (England comes close)
  7. Team in Training - sorry no nothing about it.
  8. Campy/Shimano - no difference - until one company starts to produce legs.
  9. Who cares about Lance Armstrong - not me, he is just the captain of the best cycling team put together. Really does anyone take "the greatest show on wheels" seriously?
  10. Drafting rules are not working.
  11. 700c is faster for all except those that need 650c to get proper bike fit.
  12. Cervelo make some good bikes - but like campy/shimano - until their bikes come with free legs then there is no difference between them and other frames.
  13. US Postal v Ulrich this year - well who cares.
  14. Bottle on frame or in front.
  15. The right bike is the one with the two round wheels.
  16. IMNA - who cares about Ironman?
  17. Headsets are at discretion of manufacturers ease and no bearing on performance
  18. The right gearing is always best.
  19. Tubulars are better and are not hard to change.
  20. Real world is science because if it is true it is true - a fact is a fact no matter in the lab or the field.
  21. Macca is a go hard man - who cares if he speaks the truth and his feelings.
  22. Bush??? What you need to ask that question? WORSE THAN BAD.
  23. Posers (most triathletes are posers)
  24. Deboom - 2 Hawaii victories.
  25. Mr. Tibbs? Talks about himself in third person - so ????
  26. War for oil is bad.
  27. Atkins diet not only bad for athletes - just down right dangerous for any human. (not bad for a dog or tiger though.)
  28. Kona is not a real WC - who care though it is an IM
  29. Race to your own hearts content.
  30. Caffeine bad and only losers use it: you use - you lose.


The real conundrum: Why do some folks stare at the truth and claim to see something different to everyone else????
