The brakes are so far from the seat a person would almost have to stop and get off the bike and walk around front of it to reach the brakes---which wouldn't work anyway because the levers are secured by bar tape.
I will ridicule the bike, the people who made it, the people who sort of wrote and almost translated the ad copy----because the whole thing was a pure crap job. Anyone who laid out the money to actually build the thing wasted that money, and anyone who bought one .... nothing good to say about that person. Anyone who tried to ride that bike would know in an instant that it is unsafe at any speed.--- that "instant" being when they wanted to stop and get off.
I will heap mockery on anyone in any way associated with the product,. including the "reviewers on this site---including myself. Why not? As you can all attest, I am a humble man.
Enough with the virtue-signaling. There is noting not humorous about any aspect of this thread except for the bitter sadness of the poor children who begged their parents to get them bicycles, only to find one of those in the driveway.
Making fun of someone for making an uninformed buying decision and posting pictures of their bikes is punching down. Enough with the " I'm smarter than them" signalling.
Assume the bike is as bad as people are saying. What's humorous about someone being conned into buying it? Do you laugh at old people who fall for scams?
Everything about the marketing is fair game for ridicule, the exposure of how bad they're lying could actually help inform unwary consumers, but there's no good reason to post ridicule of a buyer.
