Calling older roadies stupid and immature is very insulting.

At 53, I can recognize plusses and minuses of both my gravel bike with its 47mm tires and my road bike with its 25mm tires. Both are FUN for different reasons.

I also recognize that even if science supports wider tires compared to what was pushed by the industry in the past, the gravel/wide tires thing is also becoming a big marketing push by the industry...
