Mapleton Community Ride Summary 04/12/2016
On this ride I found out that plus bike riders are people too. Buying into the middle ground of tyre sizes never pays off - it's not the best of both worlds, it's boring being-all-things beige. Pick a side and defend it with all the misinformation and confirmation bias you can muster in a 5 minute google search! However; Graham and Daniel were the two plus bike riders this ride, a Norco and a Scott respectively and I discovered that you can talk to them and they won't try and validate why they wasted so much money on a marketing gimmick. As a matter of fact they're quite normal. So the next time you bump into a fence sitting semi-fat rider give them the benefit of a doubt and look past their shortcomings. Maybe you could help them out by convincing them to go back to normal sized tyres. [/sarcasm, I actually like plus bikes] Getting on with the summary...
