Been cycling public roads (mostly) for 40 years. Primarily solo and in groups periodically. No daytime lights. Never had contact with a car/truck/motorcycle. Also, never had a head-on crash with anything. Rim brakes work, are lighter and easier to service.

I'm passe, now I'm niche. Still pleased to be a cyclist riding 'death machines'.

Who still listens to the radio (regularly) as a music source, at home & during the day? I try to stay too busy to sit and listen to music, but when the radio plays a favorite song it can serve as a ~3-5 min break. No Internet needed, no streaming required, no cookies on the broadcast. Brief current news update at the top-o-th-hour. Old tech survives.

Passe & niche = & .
