bigarse 'chopper'

[[email protected]]

saw one of those bigarse 'chopper' SS's today - you know,
the ones that K-mart sell...as soon as he hit a small incline, the
gearing
was so bad he had to get off and walk the thing...

I'd be lying to say I wasn't a scene ***** (gimmmmeee more CF!) but
when it
comes to things that don't actually improve the task at hand, I dont
see the
logic... hauling some 20kg+ hunk of **** bike around that cant even
be
properly ridden is insane..


Isn't this why there is restricted gearing in younger grades for
racing, to
ensure kiddies don't wreck their knees while they are still
developing?


First impressions of things as a kid can be everlasting.. so imagine
the
damage being done to their perception of cycling if all they know are
these
clunky shitboxes?..


Sure, these bikes would be fine if we all lived in some magical place
where
is always summer, near a beach, only rode very small distances at
sunset,
while drinking Coke(tm) and eating Snickers(tm), while watching hot
chicks
surfing (who are using tampons).... but no.. this was Doncaster East
and
someone was trying to ride to it ...

Same thing has crossed my mind when I see them at the LBS. I often think
the same about 4wd's. If we all lived on unmade roads in the wet......
