    Surprised at how slow to react they were to the obscene amount of bad press.

    Of course, everyone thinks that Sinyard is up there just waiting to jump at people, when in reality, it's the law firm they hired (not always without good intent) that jumps on this stuff.

    What amazed me is that it really was just grass roots bad mouthing of the product. In today's cycling climate, that holds a lot of weight.

    It's that type of community. So many communities, so many varieties, so many small companies/shops, and yet the internet makes it unite pretty damn quickly.

    Not "news" but at our local Costco today I saw somebody walking around in an old-school Banesto jersey.

    Unlikely. Prosecutions for stuff like this are not nearly common enough in the U.S.

    Death toll is now 5 and the prosecutor is bringing second degree murder charges against him.
