You worked at hankey pankey???? I'll have to ask varian next time I'm in there how often it happens. Then we still need to race, his old lazy as says he's faster than me.1. H&F from '99-'04 - MV is the only person who was there during that window
2. Tards, sure. I remember seeing a survey by one of the industry rags (can't remember the name) that surveyed the average income, education level, and employment of rider types broken out tri, road, mtb, bmx, and commuter.
-Tri was notably the highest in every category with PhD's and Masters making up >50%, careers mostly in medical, engineering, and finance; income >$200k
-Road was next with mostly BA and Master's, more sales and tech jobs; income >$150
-MTB was notably BA and a few masters, more low-end white collar and notable blue collar levels; income between 50 and 150
- BMX mostly HS and BA, a lot of blue collar; income <$50
I'd have to try and find the article again, but it was notable enough that we changed the structure of our store around it and saw higher margins and sales.
Having a degree and good job doesn't make tri guys any less arrogant (probably more arrogant) and clueless as to what's going on with bikes. You know it's the truth too.......
