    ARE YOU FITTIN' KIDDING ME?

    ARE YOU FITTIN' KIDDING ME?

    WHY DO WE IGNORE THE BEST ADVICE?  I dunno about you, but the moment I'm outted as a lover of having fun on two-wheels I get peppered with questions.  They all start out slow...

    ... like they're testing me.

    And then I get it, 
    every time.

    What kind of bike should I get?

    It's a fair question, 
    just it's not the right question.

    They already know they want an MTB or road bike or gravel bike or triathlon bike...

    ... they're asking me, what brand.

    My answer is always the same.

    If you're not sure you're really gonna be into it, the cheapest thing you can find on Facebook marketplace.

    If you're totally gung ho, whatever the best bike shop in your town is carrying.

    They're gonna need the support of a good community.

    However, that is still the wrong question.

    Not the answer they need.

    When I tell them what they need, they always,
    and I mean freakin' always,
    nod their heads.

    Oh, yeah, that makes sense.

    Proceed to not take my advice, 
    and too often wind up with the wrong bike.

    So, What kind of bike you get?...

    ... The one an expert bike fitter recommends.

    People fork out real money, 
    on really bad bikes for them.

    Don't be pennywise...

    ... be fit smart!
