I’m supposed to love stuff like this, but i can’t. This is BS. I’m sure its a good bike, but it’s just fancy bike.

We don’t need a “connected cycling platform”. We’ve got Garmin, Strava and plenty of things in our phone. We don’t need a $2500 carbon commuter. There are thousands of alternatives that are just as good for 1/2 the price. Or, a 1/4 of the price.

I’d like to buy Grant Peterson two beers and have him give me his take on this thing.
