Giordano Libero Bike (2 Choices)
Monday, April 8, 2013
Use this: if you’re a novice road biker. It’s a “never rode a road bike” bike.
Don’t use this: on the freeway. Unless you’re living in some kind of post-Peak Oil, radically simplified, neo-primitive society. But if you are, how are you reading this?
Some skeptics wonder: if the carbon emissions prevented by biking instead of driving are offset by the extra carbon dioxide exhaled by cyclists. Some skeptics are stupid.
You win at this product by: enjoying safe, low-impact commuting, running errands, and riding for pleasure for the next several years. It plays the long game.
A real Amazon review of this product says: “Were are the shifters on this bike. j jj j j jjj j jjjjj f jfjf jf jf fj f j fj fjf fjfj f fj fj”
If you traveled to the past, people would think this was: the greatest bicycle ever made. Yeah, bikes have come a long way.
