Those in (bicycling/clown-colored spandex/picogram-obsessed) glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

I thought it interesting to spend time in a relatively poor country where people cared about many things more than money. FI their school performance ranks 21st, and the US is 33rd. Maybe it is the baby carriages . . .

Also saw many small children on bicycles, huge difference from this country. Looks to be common to push bike at 2, pedal at 3 yrs. Fun to see so many good looking people of both sexes on MTBs in full kit.
No one there uses training wheels - definitely in my overrated category.

Do some of you actually think index shifting, college, cycling computers And some other gems are overrated?
Wow.
I like my expensive cars, College education, SRAM red (index!) shifter, carbon wheels and frame (aero to boot) as well as my Garvin which allows me to have a few KOM's on strava.
Oh, and I'll smoke your steel is real vintage shimano riding ass everyday of the week and twice on Sunday!
