I'm new here, I do not know everyone's name. I'm also bad with names, so I will forget even if I know, I'll continue to call people by their usernames, I'm sorry.

^ Re-read that, I DO respect him, and his work. I am just saying that not everyone wants to save gas mileage the same way he does, (modifying the actual look of the bike).
OP was saying he wanted to just adjust his gears, etc. Not go too far into modifying his bike.

What harsh words did I say to him? I guess I somewhat called him a hypocrite, but I am not saying that in a mean way. I am just pointing out that his goal of making the planet green isn't really going to matter when he is taking unnecessary rides. (Again, I don't know him or where he rides, etc. but I think it is safe to assume he does get up and about for no reason at times, like all of us do).
I just don't like it when people try to "guilt" you into being more "green" for the planet. It's a deceitful argument and isn't valid. I don't think Aero was trying to do that, he seems like a really nice guy. But I just wanted to make it a point that when people make that assumption that increase MPG = better environment, it's only half true..
Again, I want to stress that I do respect Aero, and I do want him to continue doing what he is doing, and I also think very highly of him from his ideals and accomplishments
