Can someone please explain this shit to me, an out of touch boomer who apparently isn't the right demographic to be brainwashed by my hand computer into committing suicide by I-beam? Why are today's no-good teens so eager to grind themselves into hamburger meat in front of hundreds of commuters? And apparently the thing to do is when your friend gets dismembered you run away and send a message to the group chat about this epic thing that happened, instead of calling an ambulance. It happens at least once a month.

When I was a kid the naughty kids would play hookie to waste $4 worth of quarters on street fighter matches against much older kids, we didn't have these tick tocks rotting our brains. Is that what this world is coming to? Can't a kid just play a wholesome game of street fighter while smoking a cigarette and throwing up?

What destroyed cycling: a root cause analysis

No.1962645 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Disasters never have one root cause and neither did the destruction of cycling. But I know some important milestones in the decline and fall:

1. COVID 19. Enough said.
2. Full suspension mountain bikes. Enough said.
3. Reddit. Enough said.
4. Twitter. Enough said.
5. British "people". Enough said.
6. The d-tch. Enough said.
7. The state of Utah. Enough said.
8. Zwift, Peloton, "Spin Class", and other cancer. Enough said.

What were some other key moments?

What the fuck is wrong with these mongoloid slackers? They completely underschedule longhaul trains everywhere outside the NEC so almost no one can use them for shorter trips and then wonder why ridership is in the shitter. Each route should be minimum 3x a day per direction.

It has happened

A few years ago people starting referring to certain China wheelsets as not just "the best Chinese wheels" or "the best budget wheels" but simply "the best wheels". This year, Winspace released the T1600, a CDM (Chinese Domestic Market) product that costs more than a Madone or a Tarmac. It's UCI approved right out of the box (though you may need to tape some lead weights to it to get it to pass the weight restrictions). Western buyers need not apply, though they no doubt will try.

Western brands were folding right and left before the iron curtain 2.0 was raised, now the "tiro de gracia" has been fired and big companies like Trek are going to go bankrupt because their supply chains have been cut off by Import Substitution Industrialization, a popular third world development tactic pioneered by visionaries like Pinochet and Galtieri.

Is this the end of the western bike era? Will tomorrow's dentists settle for nothing less than Chinese bikes on 100% Chinese groupsets?
