I don't really see the point of that $6000 Trek thing for an 11 mile commute though. For that money you can get a Vespa Elletrica. Or a cheaper electric scooter AND an e-bike.

Blinking rear lights are also annoying as hell for other cyclists behind you.

I wondered about the Klickfix system for a while, can it really hold 15lbs in place? Does it work well? The idea of having a klickfix handlebar mount on several bikes and then be able to freely switch different bags and baskets between them is appealing, but the mounting system looks so flimsy and plastic-y.

Why does a misfire make her trust the product more

Animal Friend posted:I think a lot of it comes down to the stance you have on the bike. Some flat bars are very relaxed and upright so you get to cruise in comfort but not very quickly. I'd like to add that a more upright position also provides a better view of your surroundings than an aerodynamic one. An aggressive drop bar road bike gets annoying really fast if you constantly have to look ahead and to your left and right imo. It's the main reason I don't use a road bike for city commuting.

100YrsofAttitude posted:I don't plan on getting one, but I was always curious what the point of a fixie bike was? They seem wholly inferior since you can change gears, and I feel like that'd make hills a pain in the rear end plain and simple. Was/Is it just a hipster fad? I only ever see the most cliché looking people riding them here in Paris. Just try riding one. It feels completely different. A singlespeed has the advantages AfricanBootyShine listed, and a fixie also feels like a much more direct engagement with the drivetrain. It's hard to describe, but you'll feel it if you ever ride one.

Fixies were mostly track bikes in the beginning, and you're not allowed to have brakes on the track. Not having brakes in actual traffic is just a toxic masculinity thing I think.
