Yeah totally. I think just assumed (we know what happens you ass u me) that cycling was something that was inherently more ‘involving’(?) than say, plumbing so that level where you stop doing the research and pay someone for their expertise would be very different. I guess for a lot of people though it isn’t.
There’s maybe geographical differences too. I would expect that in London the ratio of ‘people using a bike as a functional means of transport and uninterested in the minutae of componentry’ to ‘people who spend as much time reading, watching, absorbing content and discussing cycling as they do actually cycling’ is quite different to what is up here in Glasgow. And I know its much more of a spectrum than that but hopefully you get my drift.
