• Go to Germany.

    Everything they put on their bikes is anti as fuck, and this is coming from me who's not arsed about looks.

    Massive adjustable stems set to the highest angle possible
    Butterlfy bars
    Foam tubing grips
    Aluminium balloon frames
    Sprung seatposts
    Huge padded plastic saddles
    Those weird tinted plastic wheel covers that kind of function like an extension of the mudguard

    Isn't this just because all Germans are pensioners or something? Hence electro-bikes are massive business over there - there seems to be an electro-bike shop and a hearing aid fitter in every village.

    The tinted plastic things are skirt guards.
