My local bike shop sold a lot of bikes this season. They're doing fine. That old school video about Wende Cragg really inspired me, with riders wearing flannels and jeans. I'm fine with my no suspension steel fat bike. If that means I can't ride the wild trails, so be it. I'm here to have fun, I don't aspire to be one of the greats or race at all. Not gonna wear jeans because I'll sweat them through, but MTB specific clothing is overpriced because that's the sucker tax.

Ride the fat steel steed! If you're having fun, you're doing it the right way. Cheers, Thomas.
