Very validating, thanks. I feel so seen by this thread - in my head I ride a wanker bike because most of my friends ride btwins or raleigh/peugeot ghetto singlespeed beaters with (spits) pannier racks, that they'll happily leave outside a pub with a cable lock without breaking a sweat... They don't understand why I spent more on the saddle than I did on the original bike. But then the ones that ride CdFs and go on actually long rides at the weekends would probably think it's a pub bike 🤷♂️
I need to make one of those 'what my friends think I ride / what my parents think I ride / what I think I ride / what I actually ride' memes edit: fuck it got nothing better to do:
cheers... I've been toying with the idea of going 1x at some point, but I use my trailer for the big shop / trips to the dump etc so much that I'd really miss the granny ring. I guess the trailer is another nail in the wanker-aspiration coffin anyway
