    As a former commuter turned commuter/roadie. Join the cult! It’s fun! We have aero socks and haribo!

      Sorry, I can’t ride without flats, normal clothes, some racks, and a big-ass bag or two. Why be aero when wind resistance only makes your legs stronger?

        You know, getting a cargo bike and hauling stuff around for no reason sounds fun.

            It was meant in a playful way. 🙂

            Taking my box of junk out for a nice ride around town is another reason. 😆

It’s a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don’t be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
