If anyone gave birth to the urban biker movement, it's probably Sky
Yaeger, Swobo's managing director.

Bulldadda. Urban cycling has been with us for over 130 years

We can look forward to scooping some nice equipment at garage sales
after these trend following fixey clones get their knee replacement
surgeries.

If anyone is responsible for cyclists regaining their senses it was
you, me and freds the world over who never knew
transportation/utility/commuting cycling was ever out of "fashion".

Our "beaters" are the real progenitors of this new bicycle breed.

Ms. Yeager just happened to pick up on the meme at a time when cities
are becoming untenable for occupants of those stinking lesser
vehicles that we've been brainwashed to accept as normal.
