What are they putting in the water these days? We are talking about bikes, aren't we? It's not like talking about the end of civilization as we know it.
Maybe someone will make the argument that it does.
Im about to do an experiment. I've only ridden a bent since 11/11. In about an hour I'm going MTBing in Colorado with my SIL who thinks I've named him in my will. I'll tell you how it goes. It might get ugly in a hurry.
