…When oil affordability really drops off a cliff – and it will – bikes will suffer too. But because there is a lot less to maintain, and because they are mechanically simple, they’ll remain viable longer.
For how long, who can say.
But the age of the automobile is dying. It just doesn’t know it yet

…Diesel is what the modern economy runs on. When there is heavy work to do, it’s done with diesel. The recent spikes in its price will be assumed to be a temporary blip precipitated by Donny Dumbfuck. But diesel production has probably peaked and is already in decline: https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/116334360613944158. Which means rationing of oil products is in our future. With that comes a contraction of every supply chain. Which means the cost of maintenance will rocket too. Less to maintain wins #bikemaxxing
