Sometimes you just gotta laugh out loud at the emails that show up around here.
I hope this guy beats a few douchebags out there in New York State who roll up with their $4,000 wheelsets. I hope he makes them cry.

$60 for a pair of covers from Excel sports is too pricey?

Great fodder for Bike Snob NYC… I can remember lining up for a local charity “ride”, and having been forewarned by some shop folk to keep an eye on the “pseudosupercyclists”, happened to notice the incredible feat of engineering next to me. Road bike with cardboard and duct tape “aerofairing” all over the frame and rear wheel. Had a chuckle and a good ride
