>>1880828>I can't put into words how much I hate the Dutch bike obsession, the Netherlands might be flat but I don't feel like cycling a singlespeed anchor up hills that exist everywhere else. Also the "I'm not elitist you are" while calling other cyclists retarded for their preferences is peak irony.Dutch-esque cycling is a different transport mode to cycling.
I mostly ride a road bike & a tourer, both of which are highly efficient. In a hilly city.
I put together pic rel to sell but I want something like it for myself.
A bike like this is fun to get around on. You don't suffer up hills, you walk it up hills. You never break a sweat riding, you just cruise, or you walk it. It's kind of half like being a pedestrian. You're not competing with cars at all.
It's very freeing snapping out of the being fast mode. Very relaxing way to get around. Like walking but with a donkey and faster. If you're fit then your exertion becomes zero.
