UGH. I'M IN THE CAR AGAIN.

THE BEST BIKE IS ONE THAT GETS YOU OUT OF YOUR CAR

I'm in the car because there's a block headwind. Or maybe temperatures are in the 90s and I don't want to arrive at a meeting a sweaty mess. Or I don't think I can fit all the groceries into the small panniers and I sure as hell can't do a Costco run on this bike.

"This bike" is my 32-year-old Bridgestone MB-1. Set up as a commuter, it has served a long life. No one would fault me for replacing it. And the rise of e-cargo bikes offers a tantalizing possibility: Is that the bike that will finally get me out of the car for my short errands?

I think so. But, I wonder: Am I only justifying the consumerist thrill of New Bike Day under a gloss of environmental do-gooderism? An e-bike is better than a car but still comes with a cost. The MB-1 still rolls fine. Which bike does the most good?

THE CASE AGAINST STRAVA

I'LL BEGIN BY SINGING SOME PRAISES: Without Strava, I'm not sure I'd have re-engaged with cycling at the level I did. Coming from just occasionally messing around on mountain bikes as a teenager to trying my best to race at an elite level, Strava has played a role in pushing me to PR, hunt KOMS, and ride faster and harder than ever before.

THE UPSIDE OF GETTING YOUR CAR STOLEN
