    We have a “don’t be a dick” rule here, I would encourage you to follow it.

        I don’t even disagree with the sentiment entirely, but rules is rules and we try to keep this place friendly.

      You do understand I was calling out the author of the article, right? I really don’t understand how someone can be ignorant enough to buy a bicycle and have absolutely no idea that they might just need some things to go with it.

        Calling them naive is fine, calling them ignorant is fine, but calling them a dumb fuck is dickery - find another way to criticize the legitimate arguments (and by the way, I agree with you, the author is very naive).

          criticize the legitimate argument

          I don’t believe there was any argument. Of course you need accessories for your bicycle (of any kind) unless you’re going to just treat it as disposable.

          calling them a dumb fuck is dickery

          Your community, your call… I do respectfully disagree. That level of naivety for a grown adult is dumb-fuckery and it deserves to be called out. The premise is so incredulous that I suspect they actually just lied about it as a pretext for writing the article with a whole bunch of product placements. The whole article is an advertisement in disguise.

          Anyway… I’ll try to notice if I’m in your community again and attempt to keep it between the lines for you.

            It isn’t for me, it’s for the community, but thank you.
