    au revoir to all the people I had great chats with, met for a coffee etc etc, however it’s time to dip out of RoadCC as I think now that there are a by far to many bitter people here now, who just, moan moan moan. I can no longer waste time reading shite… LA LA LA yawn yawn yawn and it goes on.

    And for the record, for all you LA haters… No matter what he became he was a legend and probably inspired the majority here to ride.

    What I do feel diminishes
    What I do feel diminishes this site is the number of people who charge in to moan about anything reviewed that costs more than 1 pound. Sure say if something is expensive compared equivalent quality goods (and kindly provide some evidence to back it up), but don’t just troll “it costs too much”.

    Contrast this site with DC Rainmakers’ , for instance, who is constantly reviewing expensive Bike-tech gear (or a dozen other forums/sites which review TVs, Photographic goods, Cars, etc) and his commentators provide well balanced comments, ask technical questions and don’t complain at the product if they can’t afford to buy it.

    Armstrong, Lance Armstrong. He’s a pretty famous cyclist, there are quite a lot of articles about him on this very website. It’s an interesting story really, he got cancer, beat it then came back to win the Tour de France 7 times before he had the titles stripped off him for taking performance enhancing drugs. It’s kind of like Belleville Rendevous meets Tin Tin meets Trainspotting.

    I’m stunned you’ve never heard of him before.

    I wonder how often the OP
    I wonder how often the OP will check to see how many commented on this attention-seeking missive.

    At least it was short so I didn’t waste too much time in the vain hope of finding something constructive.

    But seriously, does he/she have a point? Are too many comments bitter or spiteful? (I think describing them as ‘hateful’ is exaggerating but feel free to slag me off for it if you must) Or is it just a ‘glass half-empty’ view?

    It can feel that some people are incapable of disagreeing about such pressing matters like wheel upgrades, chain lube or whether to use energy gels on a ride and still remain civil, but you get that everywhere (or so I’m told, I’ve not been there myself).

    You shouldn’t leave, haters
    You shouldn’t leave, haters always gonna hate. Instead we could advocate together to find ways to manage the trolls. For instance, we could push the site owners to develop a flag post feature.

    As for LA, people should learn to forgive and forget. He can keep being banned for life from cycling. But that doesn’t mean he can’t do something useful like raising money to fight cancer. People who oppose to that are just as bad as he was when he doped and bullied people.
