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.

I believe italians call it a 'muscle bike', which i found kinda funny and cool.

I like it, I'm going to use it. Let's make it a thing.

Maybe not as cool as acoustic bike but it's the most accurate in contrast to "motorized bike"
