Even for short distances, a better device is more pleasant to use. Not sweating is worth a lot if you can't shower at your destination.
And what if you want to travel 10 miles? Or 50? Carry more cargo, climb steeper hills? I think you should adopt this moderate position from a competing industry: "your mileage may vary."
- Retric 14y agoThat's assuming it's still there when you want to use it. A well maintained cheap bike might take 5% more effort to use, but being able to use it in more places IMO is worth more than being slightly less tired when you get there.
- DanBC 14y ago> a better device is more pleasant to use. A cardboard bike is probably not great. Bt getting people on bikes is important. If they have an okay experience on a lousy $10 cardboard bike then there's a chance that they go on a buy a bike and use it. And, like everything else, there's a lot of nonsense spoken about bikes. Most people do not need carbon fibre frames and titanium widgets etc.
