Love that guy... I've often forwarded his works to friends. Always get a warm response. He really has a sharp wit and a clear insights. Guess this means I'll have to buy the book!

He has made mention numerous times that Serottas are something dentists ride....well...that is his only offense in my opinion. Otherwise he is a stellar wit! Perhaps just what the sport needs.

When half of our team rides Serottas it's not a surprise that the only Dentist on the team rides one.

He wins races on it though, which goes against the tone of what Bikesnob implies. :-)

Clearly he is an "antidentite".... :banana:

we're lucky to have such a great writer doing his thing about the sport we love.

Very cool -- thanks for the heads up. I'll need to order his book, if for no other reason than to support the snob's work. I can only enjoy so much for free before I start feeling guilty.

Didn't listen past the first five minutes, which didn't catch my interest.

If you read his blog regularly his book wasn't that great. He didn't have as many hilarious and snobish opinions like he does on the blog. It was more a book for the newbie.
