Like the horse, it became an instrument of leisure and not of cheap, carbon free transportation for short distances.
It became the target market for all kinds of specialized merchandise that you could buy to make it more “pleasurable” and “efficient”.
There’s many an app that can tell you all your vitals were jacked up and you were at the peak of human performance while giving the public a view of spandex butt for many miles.
Does no one just go for a bike ride anymore? In normal clothes? Cheap ass way of getting around like it used to be? Just to get some wind in your hair and enjoy the sunshine?
I guess we deserve to sink in the rising oceans. Whilst wearing our lycra and checking Strava stats.
Ridiculous.
