Wait, which hardtail did I detest?!?!
Riding from home is great, and the reality is that depending on where you live and time of day, you're not really "saving" any time by loading up the car/truck and driving over. And you're certainly spending more money, not gaining fitness, and then there's the whole CO2 bit.
The Tallboy and probably Process 111 really led the charge here, but I totally agree that the new bikes in the category are really, really cool. (That said.. you can kinda apply that statement to any bike nowadays. Other than the cost, there's zero valid arguments that bikes aren't better than they've ever been.)
Also, I've trademarked Shore Country, so if they want that term, we'll need a royalty agreement.
