Mike - awesome read as always.
In a similar vein the more "tech" life gets the more I want to push back and go the other way - bikes very much included. Maybe i'm just a contrarian / luddite. If I could return the world to the late 80 / early 90s when things were straightforward I would in a heartbeat.
Saying that the bikes I had in the late 90s when I got into mtb always broken so I wouldn't want to give up modern bikes because even the simple ones are damn good.
I'm kinda hoping the future swings back to "simpler" times but with some of the modern niceties kept. Keep the good, throw out the bad.
