This is what I always say, it has the perfect level of dad joke energy IMO.
I'm a musician for a living so it feels appropriate for me.
Haha this I like. Unplugged
I want to say ‚bike‘?
Whatever happened to just "bicycle"?
Pinkbike is getting so pathetic. Instead of trying to farm outrage for clicks, maybe do something to actually promote something. Cheap bitches didn't even have an advent giveaway this year. Fuck outside, and fuck Pinkbike for selling out.
You know of any better sites? It seems like it's pretty hard to find genuinely good articles most of the time and something is better than nothing.
Not many alternatives. Some of my go-tos are NSMB and VitalMTB. Loam Ranger for Vlogs I guess too.
"anthropodynamic"
"crankyboi"
I believe italians call it a 'muscle bike', which i found kinda funny and cool.
My wife calls reel lawn mowers "man powered lawnmower," which very clearly communicates how it works. Muscle bike does that as well, with the funny allusion to muscle cars.
I like it, I'm going to use it. Let's make it a thing.
Trad bike.
Velociped
*Velocipede. (I was going to say it, darnit.)
Analogue bike
Pedal Bike. That's what my Gramps called it
Organic
Free range
That's quite clever actually :D
I usually just say "regular bike"
