>>2013217It's a fad that appeals to dentist who find proper touring bikes uncool and the word cyclotourism filthy. You see, they want to show off their 5 grand carbon bikes while also prove to you that they are ultra nomad badasses that can go really fast to the nearest motel because their high tech bags can only fit a lunch and a tooth brush. They want to be the pic related but on a modern bike and with a thinning bald spot. They also love to attach slippers on the outside to let you know they are not fucking around they are the real deal.
