PRO. FESSIONALISM. 

That's all I was saying.  I don't want to get a bad reputation for the club like we're too elitist.

I don't think I was trying to insinuate anything. More of a look for the bike and get a card in the spokes. oi.

Maybe she doesn't know how much it cost?  Maybe she doesn't know about the cycling club?  Maybe she's intimidated?

Guys, I know everyone likes to vent (I'm guilty of it myself), but keep in mind this is a public board and potentially the first thing people will find when they search for "und cycling club."  If we trash everyone who rides a nice bike but doesn't conform to our standards (or trash people who ride not-so-nice bikes), we're automatically shutting out a whole segment of the student body (who may not even know what they're missing).

Our mission statement is "to promote cycling and the cycling lifestyle at UND and in the Grand Forks area," which I read as including everyone who likes to ride, regardless of what they can afford.

As far as getting on people's cases about their total disregard for traffic laws and common courtesy, I'm totally there--but again, there are a lot of clueless people in the world who would probably take honest advice better than empassioned shouting in the street.  Yes, we all know I'm a hypocrite, but compare me now with myself a couple years ago and I'm most definitely calmer on the bike than I used to be.

Just a heads up, if you happen to see a guy on the sidewalk on one of those tricycle recumbent things, you might give him a pass because he's blind (and a professor, actually).
Noted.  That's some skill.

He can see, just not so well that he's not legally blind.
