From Patrick Rhone:
“I have come to believe that the best and most cost effective technology upgrade that one can make is to themselves. I’m not talking cyborg implants here. I’m speaking about knowledge. That is, increasing your skill, aptitude, and understanding when it comes to any device, application, or tool.”
Years ago when I used to read all the bicycle magazines, it was hard to miss all the talk about saving weight. How new technology was shaving ounces off of stems, handlebars, seats!
All this shaving cost hundreds of dollars, of course. Lighter bikes and components costs thousands of dollars more than their heavier counterparts.
But I’ll never forget when someone wrote that it was easier and cheaper to lose 10lbs than shave 10lbs from your bike.
