Final words about #spezi #spezi2023 – I found it great to see such a range from highly polished and professional manufacturers like HP Velotechnik and AZUB Bikes to smaller, more crafty operations like Castro or Bends to the utter weirdness of Reiseradgabel topping out in a couple of inventors and enthusiasts who seem to be there only for the fun of it, without any imaginable path towards commercialization – a microcosm of nonconformism in the most nonconformist corner of #bikeCulture

@enobacon I see your point about the need to subsidize bicycle #infrastructure, I I really do like biking with my older kids in the #Burley Bee, but... I do think strollering or biking in the rain, for example, is a hard sell for parents of very #littleOnes . Too often, it seems like the dialogue about #suburbs and #bikeculture ignores or handwaves the concerns and lived experience of #parenting... I am glad there are #pedestrian options, but I am also thankful for #minivans
