When I were a lad, there were touring bikes, racing bikes, mountain bikes, BMX bikes and hybrid bikes. That was it.
Now we have downhill bikes, gravel bikes, cyclo-cross bikes, audax bikes, sportive bikes, winter bikes, summer bikes, etc. Ffs. What is the world coming too?
Cant wait for Specialized's 2019 range of 'Autumn bikes' which cater to the gel powered pussies wearing white spandex and aero wrap around shades. No doubt it'll have a special carbon fibre hinge in the middle to convert it into a nifty unicycle for those hard to negotiate turns in today's commuter routes through metropolis.
