That means said Dave has the wrong bike and is not riding.

The bike is foremost made to not be a wall hanger. Neither is it supposed to cost more than a few hundred bucks.

Recreation does not require a $10k bicycle either. Just a different bike design. Neither does it require a damn battery. The battery is useful for commuting. If you cannot finish or go to a recreational drive without one, train up to it or change the path. It's that easy.

Manicuired bike parks are kinda fun in the same sense a rollercoaster is. That is, once or twice. Someone should run a bike rental at one of these to fix the issue of bikes getting carried.
