Daily Drivers
Being a bike shop, Bicycling magazine sends of copy of their mag to the store each month. I usually flip through the pages, grumble and then pass it on. They have their moments, but as a whole I don't think they do a great service to "average" bike riders.
The feature on race bikes in the current issue is a great example. "This year's most victorious machines" was the headline. The bikes ranged in price from $6700 to $16 (that's SIXTEEN) thousand dollars. What is the victory exactly?
I can appreciate a McLaren Mercedes but it's not something I'm ever going to own. If I did, I don't think I would drive it daily. It's just not practical.
It would just be nice to see the industry spend a little more time focusing on bikes that work for people in the real world. Maybe I just don't get it. Maybe I'm just getting old. Hmmph.
Have a great holiday weekend.
Ride on!
