I had a bike with a worn out derailleur like that once.Who'd ride a cycle where the cycle decided on what gear to be in?

Technically, no bike is ever designed to be ridden with spacers under the stem. But there has to be some level of adjustment because hoomans aren't all the sameYou must have your handlebars as low as possible. No spacers are allowed and your stem must be angled down.
This is a very common attitude in much of Italy - I kid you not. Anyone using a bike for practical purposes is poor.My neighbour couldn't understand why I had bought a bike when I already had a car.
I find that the vast majority of driver act perfectly well

someone at work asked if i had a driving license last weekWith two of the engineering companies I worked for years ago I drove the works vans, it confused everybody when they realized I could drive but didn't own a car and cycled everywhere, same as a few years later when I brought my first car but continued to cycle to work and only drove in when it was raining.
Maybe - I once on a forum/list countered someone's rant that London bus drivers hate cyclists by saying that in my experience they were generally excellent - that very day or the next I had a run in with one who almost knocked me off and couldn't have cared less - all has been well since.I'll probably get flattened by a white van tomorrow
