Dude, if the bike handles like a pig, required a plumb-bob and a pipe wrench to assemble and fell apart when you looked at it too hard, =say so=. If the accessory was boring and standard, don't waste column-inches on it, just say "Boring, standard, didn't break. OK, I guess." Buy the stuff if you're afraid manufacturers won't just give it to you if you say something mean. I'll pay more for my subscription, really, I will!

2) Shut up about northern Europe already. Really, we get it, and Barcelona is much nicer for biking, anyhow. More how-to articles! More bike-hacks! More bike camping in Turkey! More lugged-frame, canvas-bagged, IGH-geared pr0n!

On the other hand, exclusive Yehuda Moon comic! Yay!
