"It's a wasted opportunity, even if it's only to discover that there are good reasons why the bike might be better for you."

That, right there...is what I said. Emphasis added. I said almost exactly what you just said in your comment, but in a different way, i.e., "At least give it a try and see if you like it and if not, that's cool." Can we please stop arguing over things we don't disagree on now?
