That piece, like so many examples of internet journalism, seems like it is written not by someone who actually rides bikes, but by someone who reads what other people (who may or may not ride bikes) think about riding bikes, and then regurgitates the 'observations' (or fabrications) that he has read in his own unique mess of word vomit.

Similar to internet intellectuals of every variety who don't know how to think, have little to no first-hand experience of their own in the fields that they write about, but read the thoughts of others (who may or may not know how to think or themselves have any meaningful first hand experience in their chosen field of expertise of the moment) and 'react', 'comment', plagiarize, regurgitate, or crap out some new configuration of stale old ideas as if they were a fresh 'hot take' of their own.

Remember when people knew how to write? Remember when 'click-bait' wasn't a word?

Spicy! I like it!
