a rant.

Yes I work in a bike shop. Yes I have an opinion about the whole Floyd Landis doping scandal. But just because I work in a bike shop, and I have my opinions about Landis, doesn't mean that you (customers) should engage me and ask what that opinion is. I like to keep my opinions to myself. I find that it's a waste of my time and energy to share an opinion about something only to have you argue against said opinion. It's kind of like discussing politics @ your job or at a party. You just don't do it! Eventually, someone ends up really pissed off, and for what? So you can flex your ego and be 'right'? I don't buy into all that.
Oh yeah, if you're some random person who doesn't follow cycling (or didn't watch the Tour cause "It's going to be so boring without Lance this year."), please excuse yourself and shut the fuck up! Just because the guy who won happens to be an American, doesn't entitle you to whine, bitch and moan. If he was French, Spanish, Italian, etc, you wouldn't give a fuck! How many of you knew who he was prior to his performance in Stage 17? I thought so. How many of you can name any of the other riders out of the 32 that were DQ'd just prior to the Tour? mhm. Thought so. And if you're one of the morons who thinks that he was feigning exhaustion "like Lance did", you're dumber than you look! You don't fake something and lose 10mins of time! He fucking cracked! And if a few shots of JD before a race gets you into that kind of shape to make up 10mins, then myself and every other amature racer/messenger would fucking RAGE during every alleycat that we race in!
Argh! That's enough ranting for now. Stop asking me what I think!
