Make your case.

Sorry, I am not sure what case I should make?

I don't know the answer to the question, I posed it as a sincere question for discussion. I am fine with everyone thinking different things, actually I would expect that everyone feels different things. I would be somewhat uncomfortable if there was actually no disagreement on this topic.

I think the very fact that the identity of a bike is so multifaceted is a case, if one must be made, in itself.

Who or what our bikes are? Why try to make a case to convince others that they are right/wrong?
