Gravel is just Very Small Rocks and inherently neither good nor bad. GRVL is a never-ending consumerist fever dream and an unprovoked assault on vowels that has spread like a persistent diaper rash from cycling to all outdoor lifestyle activities.]Front Derailleur-phobiaIntegrated Cockpits, Talking About Integrated Cockpits, Nitpicking About The Many Drawbacks Of Integrated Cockpits When Its Too Late And Really All Your Fault Anyway Because Youve Been Enabling These Companies For Years, Etc.Endless Show Coverage Of Overcomplicated Custom Bicycles With 32-Inch Wheels And Ironic Brand Names And Photos Of Them Next To Their Hipster Builders[The AIs take on Endless Show Coverage Of Overcomplicated Custom Bicycles With 32-Inch Wheels And Ironic Brand Names And Photos Of Them Next To Their Hipster Builders.
