I imagine that when the bicycle was invented that people that rode horses or walked ridiculed them.
Fast forward a few years and bikes are used for leisure, sport, work, expression, transport etc etc etc.
There are likely more forms of competition on a bike than any other sport.
Like it or lump it, 666 is just like the bicycle of the water.

P.S I know it was a pi$$ take thread but worth considering that its not about surfing on a macro level.
