apolcalypse

knott something I would buy

Audi they think they'll get away with those?

wood they not biodegrade?

Tree puns have all been done.
I agree it's cynical for Audi to get involved in making - or branding - bikes but the Renovo bikes themselves look ok.

cork off

they will be making that other abomination soon, the electric car!

Why is it cynical for a car company to make (or brand) a bike?

because they are jumping on the bikes are cool bandwagon and therefore all the devils spawn

Or, an alternative suggestion might be that they market a lot of their cars to people who own bikes (all the lifestyle estates and smaller cross-over 4X4's) so would (as a commercial entity) quite like to flog them the bikes to go in the back of the new Q7.

Plus a degree of marketing, but ultimately it's all about flogging cars.

I heard Pug is going to de-Pug the bikes. How's that for non-wagonism anti-greenwishwashy?

it actually scares me the amount of MTB mates who rock up in posh vans, you know, black, all specced out, they never just ride around.

theres shitloads of serious roadies who never ride to get anywhere either, only ever comps, tt's, lightweights I reckon, sort of people who buy,

Audi bikes for the wife!

I am sure that is part of it; synergy is the word isn't it?

I am sure that if they could get away with it then Audi would flog their clientelle some ropey coke for the weekend as well, but that might cross too many legal boundaries for their liking.
