Bikes: Bikes??? Thought this was social media?!?

The suspension stems from the past sucked - whether springs or the elastomer versions.
I think I still have a model from Softride with springs that squeak.
New models (i've seen) aren't designed much differently from those produced in the 90s.

On my mtb, bouncy bars gave a less than solid steering experience. Guess there was a reason they failed in the market.

just get fat tires. 28s or 30s soften a lot.
or get a bike with minimal suspension fork,
or ride slower,
or become an indoor cyclist = no bumps ever, what a great experience.
