Larry Varney is an editor of the online magazine bentrideronline.com of
which Bigha is a sponsor. Denial of an connection with Bigha is at best
disingenuous. Every time someone is critical of this sponsor, based on
the known facts, Varney goes into attack mode even though he claims to
have no opinion on this bike. People are invited to make their own
conclusions.

ROTFL! You've got to be a politician, Love, or at least a lawyer.
Some sort of professional liar, anyway. I have never denied a connection
with BiGHA - but now that it's mentioned, I will: I have no connection
with BiGHA. I have never ridden one, and I have never seen one - other
than pictures. Sure, the magazine has it as one of its sponsors, but
guess what: I am not the magazine. I don't even own, nor do I control,
the magazine. So is there a connection between BiGHA and me? Nope.
But please, do continue with your lies, distortions, and pathological
fixation on a bike that you have never seen nor ridden, all the while
claiming that everyone who does not share in your monomania is somehow
"defending" the bike, when it is quite obvious that no defense has ever
been made, especially by me.

And again he attacks. Why does he go so over board in denying the
obvious financial connection? He works for an organization that gets
part of it's revenue from the bike is is so adamantly defending even
while pretending not to. Every time someone makes the obvious
observation that it costs an outrageous amount for such a heavy comfort
bike, he attacks. If this is not a defense of Bigha, what is it?

A defense of the BiGHA would involve saying nice things about it. I
haven't. And I have never denied that the magazine has BiGHA as an
advertiser, just that I have no connection with it. BiGHA has given me
nothing. Sure, you can engage in some seven degrees of separation deal,
showing a connection that really isn't there, but I could do the same,
and connect you with Ossam bin Laden. It would be equally fun, and
equally worthless.
No attacks, Love, just a continuing stream of posts on my part
explaining that there are more than two criteria to picking a bike, ANY
bike. I have not defended the BiGHA, ever. Try to find one post where I
have said anything nice about it. I haven't.
OK?

And yet more foaming at the mouth. Want is his point? Why does he rail
against anyone who criticizes Bigha for it's obviously excessive price?
Would he do this for a bike that doesn't pay his magazine? Which pays
him. Follow the money. He hasn't overreacted like this to criticism of
any other bike with which there is no financial relationship. I'm sure
he will now, just to prove a point. Or maybe not, that might cost him a
future sponsor.

I'll try to explain this once more for you, Lorenzo. I am not railing
against anyone. Yes, I have said that anyone who bases their decisions
on ignorance is making a mistake, but that's not railing. And I have
said that there are (usually) more than two criteria to buying
decisions, and that was about buying anything, not just your favorite
bike. Got that?
You can criticize the BiGHA all you want - it's what you do. You base
your buying decisions on two critiera: weight and price. Fine, if that's
what you want to do, do it. No one cares.
And no one believes that my pointing out that there are (usually)
more critiera involved in any purchase, sees that as a defense of
anything, much less a bike that I have never seen nor ridden.
So, go ahead, lie all you want, make accusations that even the most
brain-dead, that even you, know to be false. I have not "overreacted" to
criciizm of the BiGHA. I have not defended it. I have not said anything
in favor of it. Ever. Understand that, Love? Or will you continue to lie?

Nobody railed for the price, for many it is excessive and for others its
not. What you want is everyone condemning the bike because of the price and
weight without ever touching one. If they don't you refuse to listen

I imagine Mr Varney would talk about the price if he reviewed it, every
other review I've seen does.

>How do you know he Follow the money. He hasn't overreacted like this to

I imagine because its because you've gone overboard to the point of
irrational in anyone not agreeing with your opinion of it. You haven't
overreacted to any other bike either.

Assuming that is true its not hard getting other sponsers

And about that matter of "overreacting" to criticism of a bike - if I
see something being criticized that is completely opposite to my
experiences, I may say something about it - as an example, I have read
some people saying that the Catrike Speed was twitchy or unstable at
high speeds. My experiences, both with the '03 Speed and the '04 Road,
are just the opposite: I have regularly gone in speeds in excess of 45
mph (yes, downhill) on both trikes, and taken my hands off the grips -
they are rock-steady.
If I read criticism about a bike or trike I haven't ridden, I won't
chime in to defend or condemn the bike, simply because I don't form my
conclusions based on ignorance. I may point out the criticising party is
doing just that - making statements based on ignorance or actual
experience with the bike or trike - but that should not be construed as
a defense of the bike, but merely being fair to both the builders and
the potential customers, in pointing out that they may want to view the
opinions of the ignorant with a great deal of skepticism.
Paying attention to the experiencs of others is a good idea, though
it's better to gather your own, if possible. But it is always dangerous
to be swayed by those who have admitted that they have no actual
knowledge of the bike, trike or product under discussion.

The observation that the Bigha costs too much is based on the facts as
displayed on their own website. $3000.00 for a 52 pound bike in it's XL
size. Not a high performance bike which you might expect to have a price
like that, not a specialized cargo bike that you might expect to have a
weight like that, but just a comfort bike not fundamentally dissimilar
to a BikeE AT. But for some reason, Varney continues to fly off the
handle everytime someone says that it's just too expensive. Are we to
believe that it's just coincidence that Bigha is one of the sponsors for
the online magazine Varney edits? This continuing campaign to defend a
sponsor really reduces the credibility of your magazine.

Except that you do chime in, over and over again when people make the
observation that the Bigha is too expensive for a heavy comfort bike.
That conservation isn't made through ignorance. It's based on the prices
of comparable bikes. You claim you have no opinion on this bike but you
continuously denigrate the opinions and experience of others. Of course
you have a reason to do so. They are one of your sponsors.

I haven't overreacted to any bike, just made the obvious observation
that it costs far too much. Do you think that $3000 is a good value for
a heavy comfort bike? As for other bikes, I have been quite critical of
Vision bikes in the past, although not for their price. Maybe you should
do a little research before saying something foolish.

If you haven't ruled it out on the basis of price and weight then you have
given it a second thought. Unlike Lorenzo and me, who are both geniuses, we
have ruled it out on the basis of price and weight. But not everyone can be
smart like us. Some folks are dumb like you. Apparently you are waiting to
ride it so you can decide. Lorenzo and I do not have to ride it in order to
KNOW that it is a very bad buy.

The adjective "and" as it applies to price and weight is critical to this
whole discussion. There has got to be something wrong with the way your
brain works. From pictures of you that I have seen on the Internet, you do
not look like a rich person to me. The fact is that most rich people would
not be caught dead on any recumbent - period! They prefer Jaguars.

Most of the week long organized group tours that I have done (quite a few)
use school facilities for their headquarters for the overnights.
Occasionally, I too have experienced state parks, city parks and county
fairgrounds, and they are never as good. When the weather turns really bad
it is very nice to have a high school building to retreat to. The showers
are a minor thing with me, but I do like a nice warm building to get into
when the weather turns cold and nasty.

Depends on the bike, you do not wish to understand that price and weight
aren't everything.

I don't know what you've said about them in the past, whatever it is they've
done they paid the price, time will tell if BigHa will suffer the same fate

Research like in actually ride the bike? good idea, you might try doing the
same

No, I spent 40+ messages responding to people defending an overpriced
heavy comfort bike that they never rode.

We are not discussing any bike, we are discussing this particular
$3000.00, 52 pound bike. Do you think that the Bigha is a good value at
that price?

There's always Google.

I also predicted that when BikeE stopped mail order sales by companies
like Hostel Shoppe where I got mine, that it was a bad sign of the
future of the company.

Because dealers don't trust these people not to screw them over like
they did when they ran BikeE, Bigha doesn't sell through dealers. That
makes it hard to test ride one. All I know about Bigha is what I read on
their website and that convinces me that it's not a good buy. Would you
pay $3000 for a bike you never saw?

When you have some "experience" with this bike, please let us all
know. I am not denigrating your opinion at all, btw, but merely pointing
out that, again, it is just your opinion, based solely on an observation
of the weight and price of a bike you've never seen nor ridden.
If that's how you make your purchase decisions, that's fine - but
don't act as if it's the only way, the best way, for everyone. Some of
us look at other criteria as well, and a test ride is often one of the
most important.
And as for them being one of my sponsors: nope, they're not.

Did you read what you responded to? Did you read where I said that I
was NOT giving it "second thoughts"? Didn't that tell you that I was not
considering buying the bike? But no, I did not decide not to buy it,
just "on the basis of price and weight" - I do not believe that a valid
buying decision is based just on those two criteria. I don't buy food,
cars, houses, nor bicycles on just those two criteria, and I find it
interesting and peculiar to meet two "geniuses" who do.

Normally, I would not point this out, but I hate to see a "genius"
make such a mistake without offering assistance. 'And' is not an adjective.

Anyone experienced with recumbents know that you don't need to pay
$3000.00 for a 52 pound comfort bike.

Your continuing disavow of a financial connection with Bigha is
obviously dishonest to anyone who has seen the bentrideronline.com home
page. They are one of the sponsers of the online magazine you are editor
of. That's clear, denials simply destroy your credibility and the
credibility of your magazine.

Lorenzo, let's get this straight: BiGHA is one of the magazine's
sponsors. They run an ad there. BiGHA is NOT, I repeat NOT, a sponsor of
ME. Got that? They don't sponsor, pay, provide food, clothing, nothing,
to ME. Got that?
And why do you keep carrying on about that bike? That "you don't need
to pay $3000 for a 52 pound comfort bike." No kidding! Who in the hell
ever said that you did? Me? Only in your most demented dreams, Lorenzo.
You don't need to spend $3000 for such a bike, you don't need to
spend $1000. In fact, you don't need to spend ANYTHING. Yes, we all know
that you taken it upon yourself to explain to the world that the bike
isn't worth that kind of money. In your opinion, as expressed above,
$3000 for a "comfort bike" that weighs 52 pounds, is not a good deal.
Fine. No one, and most emphatically me, has ever said that it is a good
deal, a good value - for you.
What some people have said, though, that it MAY be a "good value" for
other people, people who MAY judge the bike by other criteria than
weight and price. Got that? A "good value" BY THEIR STANDARDS AND
CRITERIA, and for them - not you. Do you disagree? Do you think that
your standards, your criteria, are the only correct ones, and that they
must apply to everyone?
Grow up, get a life, admit that you've got a problem over this bike,
and maybe you'll find that you've wasted an awful lot of time that could
have been spent doing something useful.
