Low grade trolling masquerading as journalism, the rise of the midwit is complete.

Er....it’s just supposed to be a relaxing break from the relentless stream of bad global news ...

I don't know what to tell you.
Where's the punchline if it's meant to be funny?
Where's the point if it's meant to be a razor sharp and insightful commentary on the current state of the industry?
What exactly was the writers aim?

I'm all for a bit of the surreal, but got to admit none of the jokes really landed with me. lThey need a rethink on who the target of the jokes are lest they alienate. Making readers challenging the silly costs of bikes and those riding hardtails the butt of jokes risks doing so - especially when times are tough for many economically. Good to see them experimenting though, I really don't need to see another how to do video from a bike media outlet on how to fit valve caps or similar.

Amusing? Relaxing? Completely unfunny crap, contains zero wit. You are easy pleased.

Hmmm...maybe my discrimination index has descended to minus 3 due to isolation ....
