Oh I see, a car is cheap and automaticity makes it the worst car in the world.
That car is a brand new 2014 design with brand new parts and the same engine many other cars that cost double have.

A $10k bike will give both a racer and a fat old dude the exact same marginal gainz, the racer just starts at a higher baseline. If one of them finds it worthwhile to blow an extra $8 grand on 1% more speed and 1% better shifting and 1kg less weight then there's no reason the other shouldn't too.

Wouldn't an ebike fit an almost dead boomer better? It would compensate for his waning strength. This one is, as he himself says in the video, to flex on people and to get strangers start a conversation with him about the bike.
