Modern biking is like Modern walking

Bikes are getting better and better and even better…believe the hyperbole about improved bike technology and you will be spending both money and time to leasing your fascination and interest in this sport until the term of expiration. The bicycle industry is a complicated ecology of manufacturers, media and social groups, all of whom (or which) are gaining your attention in your sleep to upsell you. Let this essay be a testament to what you should really fret about as a biker person: your willingness to ride your bike, well and more, today and tomorrow and not give up to those that look different even if they make you feel out of touch with fashion.

The "Dean" is Columbus Tube steel, light, soooo not-modern, fun, easy, connected to the earth ridden hard or gently. Not cool or trendy, obviously a bicycle.

Bikes are for business, forward and fast. There is no bad bike. And there is no bad wear. Just go. And go where you will how you will. Your bike might be forty years old and distinctly non-modern but feels good and has not failed and that means you are still carrying the tradition rather than it morphing you along. Just have a good time. And stay fit. Don’t worry at all about how it or you look. No one really matters when you are passing…
