Trek and Specialized on the LBS prowl, cont'd

[peanutgallery]

Some are rented and some are leased, either way...neither you or I could make a living with that noose around the neck. It's expensive

This is huge. Trek just took over Florida.

Old news. It was announced here in Florida early last month. I like David’s, and being a good dealer for Trek I don’t think much will change. Trek already had a couple factory stores here so it just expands their base here. I wish them well.

Better watch out for the governor..he's 'on the prowl' too...for a lot of(strange) reasons...he probably thinks bikes are still sold at monkey ward or sears like they were in the 1950s.

I'm sure that sounded really funny when you typed it.

Keep politics out of bicycles, groomer.

Looks like we have someone stepping out of his feedback loop like a true patriot!

It was a pretty forced mention of DeSantis. Like really forced.
That guy is a raging POS for furthering the current trend of Outrage Politics and I am far from what could ever be considered a supporter, but even I can see how forced that reference was.

I completely agree, but when someone's response is something that's pretty much outside the scope of reality, you know that they're in an echo chamber/feedback loop.

So much forcing and twisted undies.

My only question…what’s a groomer? Not a compliment?

It's a new catchphrase for those who parrot without thinking, because that's easier than being scared of the mean, changing world that's around us.

It's an insult from Q conspiracy theory types who think anyone who isn't with them is some sort of pedophile, i.e. grooming their future victims. It's dumb and it has no place here, ill-advised forced reference to Florida's governor aside.

I like the Q concept of releasing the Kraken

It's so stupid that it's funny

To the usual suspects, give it a rest and go ride yer bike.
