No more than my not wanting one, or a rack, on my everyday bike makes me elitistOriginally Posted by shootingstar
Therefore, I hope a kickstand does not make me a freda.I don't ride a carbon bike, I just like riding a bike that is as nimble and lightweight as I can make it. For heavy-duty transport I prefer a trailer.
But there really is no correlation at all between riding a lot and owning or wanting a carbon bike, IMO. I don't have one, and I'm willing to wager that most of us on this forum don't have one either.
If (when) I do more racing I will at some point want a better road bike, alu is a harsh ride on skinny wheels. But I'm a cheapskate and can't really see myself ever being willing to pay the price for a carbon bike.

Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
