One passed me on Willunga hill yesterday, the famous Durian rider making it look real easy, imagine how fast he'd be with a decent rare T bone in him. ;)

That was Harley, he passed me and Colin like we were standing still. The man is an awesome rider, I've seen him descending Corkscrew, frighteningly fast.

I have heard of Harley on other forums. I must add that I'm a slow middle aged Vegan.

To be fair, Harley seems to suffer the same fate many vegans and vegos do. He lets meat eaters looking for a fight get him wound up.
What he needs to understand, like PETA and many other pro vegan organisations, is that coming across the way they do does not do their/our cause any good. I've learnt through years of discussion about the topic, that if people get defensive like any serious debate that questions people's core beliefs like politics, racism, religion, there's no winners once every one loses their cool. His debates are insulting.
I'm think a lot of what he has to say is correct but the way he communicates it is poor. Good on him though for being a better rider than me.

Daniel, I think you have hit the nail on the head with you observations. I get what in call omnivore confessionals any time I happen to mention I am a vegetarian. I find this fascinating because I do not condem other people's choices. Eventually everyone will need to cut down on the amount of meat they eat because the current 80kg-125kg consumed each year is unsustainable for a global population of 7 billion.
I agree no one is ever going to change their behaviour by being hit over the head with information. Most people like to feel they have control over their eating practices. I don't blame them. I would want someone standing over me saying I must eat meat. For many people meat is simply just a food. The real curiousness is that why so many people have visceral reactions to eating kangaroo when it considered a pest.

Our family (two adults and three children) are vegetarian cyclists. We start the day with a vital protein fruit shake made up with either juice, soy, almond or rice milk. We have not had any issues with energy levels or stamina on our diet. I know a vegan diet is very different.

The major concern for all vegans and vegos is vitamin b12. I don't pretend to be a vego thats never had an issue with it, I have and many would have an issue but don't get their blood checked. I've been proactive in ensuring I get enough as if you don't you can seriously damage your nervous system, beyond repair.
Aside from that I give blood and when I have had my blood checked, my iron levels, etc have often shocked my doctor and blood donor folk so don't buy the crap that the dairy and meat industry put out there.

Not vegetarian but the only meat I eat is chicken. I don't eat any fish or red meat. I am only just starting to monitor my diet to try and get optimum performance

My g/f eats fish but not chicken or meat. I tend to eat the same as her most of the time, with only the very occasional red meat. I did eat the same diet as her 20 years ago but lapsed as soon as we migrated because I couldn't resist a steak on the barbie.
