In just over twenty-four hours. See, I work fast. In no particular order:
- Bikes are nowhere near as cheap as they were when I was a lad. Either that, or the economy is screwed up, or my pocket money doesn’t go nearly as far.
- Bikers are geeks. This is good; I will get on fine with them, once I understand the lingo, which is many and varied.
- Bikers have blogs. I guess this shouldn’t have surprised me. I mean, who doesn’t now. Still, it’s pretty heartening to see other bike blogs with bad puns for titles.
- Bikes are marketed in much the same way as cars. Y’know, names that make them sound far too macho (’Velocity’, ‘Comet’) etc. It’s only the fact that they cost about a twentieth of their car equivalent that we don’t see wall-to-wall advertising for them.
- Twenty-nine inches is apparently an important measurement.
More ‘revelations’ as they strike me.
