Perfect if you ride your bike along a 100% straight salt flat speed-record-attempt course with a predictable steady breeze from the right direction. Dreadful for real people riding real bikes on real roads in real weather, with real distractions.
The power-up I wish to see for bicycles is the one that makes them affordable enough to cost less than a used car, again. Wish I was kidding.
Where are bikes more expensive than a used car? I literally just bought a pretty sweet used touring bike for 200 bucks. I guess you could find a cheaper used car but it isn’t going to run.
Decent commuter bikes from the major brands have gotten in to the 600-700 dollar range which sucks but is still pretty far away from used car prices.
You can still get bikes for less than half that from the direct to consumer companies.
So you either really need a carbon fiber bike with all the latest and greatest technology or you have incredibly low standards in used cars.
I took it he meant new bike vs used car. Of course new bike will be cheaper than used care and used bike will be cheaper than used car.
