YES, I'm actually blind, don't see out of my left eye, and have approximately 10 to 15 percent sight out of my right. Shapes and shadows with a bit of color. Ride my own bike and follow a guide. Even still, my bike has taken me around the world and then some...

Well done Blake! Changing perceptions and expectations of what people are capable of Your sttitude and ability to articulate the hows, why's,along with your appreciation for your guide are top shelf (we couldn't do it without them)! Best of luck in all things and know you are good for the sport we all love. Be well, stay rad and smile so much you get sunburned teeth as you continue to show that the bike is for everybody.

Opinion: Which MTB Innovations Do We Actually Need?
@Dogl0rd:
Agreed. Remember when we all clutched our pearls when bikes first dipped into the 6k range? Now, with Bikes exceeding 10-12k, are 6k rigs now considered mid level? I have a basic understanding of economics, price /demand, cost of R n D and tech advancement in our sport, as well as the current supply/chain struggles (which I hope subside in the near future.) Yet, I still suffer from a severe case of "Hi Brow" as we see the term "FINANCING AVAILABLE" regularly on bike adds.
Nevertheless, cheers everyone and no matter what you ride and no matter what you spent on it, remember, it's Friday and let's go ride them damn bikes and get your $$ worth out of em!
