I was gonna mention that white bar tape. Still suspicious of this thread due to that.

Bikes get ridden year-round. At least the mtb does.
Yard is not getting any special attention from me. Never does. It gets mowed 1/week during the summer. No more, no less. Gets trimmed 1 or 2x per month. I'm not a yard person.

Now the garden, on the other hand.............
