I see problem is that the general public often regarded bikes as toys.
I see people buy mountain bike for road use, as they feel they will avoid puntures, rather than getting the right tyres or tyre protection.
I see their bikes are slow and heavy and don't serve as suitable transport as they get too sweaty.
I see people use a rucksack, rather than luggage placed on the bike which perpetuates the above problem.
ergo bikes make rubbish transport, bike are toys.
I see people feel bikes are not worth their time, and neither are the people who repair them.
I see parents who disconnect their young children's rear brake on a long term basis because it catches on the rim rather than adjusting it, maintaining it or oiling the cable,
I see people regard folders as not even proper bikes,
I see people send £60-80 on a cheap folder and conclude that all folders are cheap and not fit for purpose.
I see young people say to me "why do you want a folding bike?" ,
But I know more than they'll ever know.......................
....and I say to myself ...............what a wonderful world.
My folder has a used value of a £1000, it works really well. My car has the same used value.
what a wounderfulllllll worrrrrrrrldddddd.
yeah
