German day-to-day bieks are fugly and overengineered for the 2km shopping trips they're mostly used for.
Sus forks? Yeah mate, don't want vibration white finger from going over the tram tracks.
Butterfly bars wrapped in 20mm of foam? Ditto.
Weird tinted brown plastic guards to stop shit getting caught in your rear spokes?
I am, of course, being provocative but I used to live there and the Germans LOVE being sold a solution to a problem they don't have. See also Nordic walking poles.
