Me?Naaaaaah, I wouldn't hurt a fly. I wouldn't want to damage the bike
This brings up an interesting subject. How often do we see people riding and think "that's not your bike!"
This is a difficult question to express because I'm not talking class or wealth. For example recently on BART I saw a rider, dressed to the 9's in business garb with a Bianchi cross bike leaning on her knee. The bike had a lot of love and upgrades, didn't take much of an eye to see "these are not stock parts". But the frame and upkeep showed signs of recent neglect. A person who wrapped leather bar tape and a Brooks on a cross would not leave it leaning on poles and let it get scratched ... I don't think this is your bike!
I would never say anything to the rider but if that bike could speak she's saying "take me HOME, please!"
