I drop any metal recycling at metal recycling? I don’t think I understand what you’re asking. I get it. One person, one hundred people, all the mountain bikers on the planet what’s the real difference between X aluminum bars recycled v. Y carbon bars in the trash compared to one ship burning the fuel delivering it all from Asia to Vancouver. I read that sort of stuff all the time. I think transportation - and cycling for transportation - is a different conversation than choosing components for toys. It’s the same vein as I think e-bikes are amazing car replacements but I think they’re shitty bike replacements. I could quit mountain biking and hike instead - I’m not going to. But recognizing what I do has an impact why, with there being no discernible performance advantage, would I choose the less good thing? Again, not directed at you or anyone particular. Just been on my mind lately and your stat about replacing bars 12-18 months framed it nicely, I thought.
