So much shit around bicycles is a scam because barring some major inventions like shocks for mountainbikes or maybe carbon frames it’s very much a solved problem, but it doesn’t fit into a capitalist economy if everybody just buys one bicycle and then occasionally parts for it to fix it.
Same in Denmark, just have a bike there can handle your needs and that’s it. One bike can transport you everyday and be a Mountain bike(we don’t have mountain’s)

Yeah but I need a road bike, an all weather commuter and a mountain bike. Oh and a CX bike and and and…
laughs in Dutch… we don’t do crap like that. Just buy a bike you use daily, and fix the parts that brake. (stadsfiets)
Although… we have a population of 17.9mln, but 23+ mln bicycles. So some of us do by in to the fancy-pants bullshit bikes as a second bike.
