we can make it a 4 seater with a roof! Riding in the rain would be no problem at all

@justanotherusername: no, I think (and I know) that many people in the bike industry are amateurs but you know "they are passionate cyclists".

@justanotherusername: global inflation? Look at the price rise from 2020 to 2022, it's waaaay more than the inflation (which got steep in the past 12 months). Look at Specialized, who now is cutting prices because they have to sell all their overpriced ebikes that the whole world should have bought (analysts? LMAO). Giant was the one of the few companies that already in 2020 recognized the bubble (article on the NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/17/business/giant-bikes-coronavirus-shortage.html), as few others, like Shimano who said f**k off to a bunch of western brands that tried to convince them to raise production. Guess the reply. And guess who ordered like a madman and now has to lower the prices.

@blcpdx: why bike prices are completely stupid high also in Europe, which luckly has not had the orange clown? The only reason prices are so high is greed. Bike companies thought they were the new Apple, misunderstanding a bubble (covid) for a business idea. They have no professional analysts and no long term plan. That's the reason why the warehouses are full now, even if a kid could have predicted the end of the bubble.

Simple answer: No! If you want to work out and stay fit buy a bike.

You forgot the most interesting news about Shimano: Shimano forecasts 21% sales drop in 2023. https://www.bicycleretailer.com/industry-news/2023/02/17/shimano-forecasts-21-sales-drop-2023#.Y_RiVOzMKrM

...but they are flashy colored. Color is all what matters to most people, you could put a piece of s**t in the hub but hey, it's blue!

The most boring lineup in the world. Maybe they should hire a designer

This is ugly as it can get for so much money
