Before you react, allow me to at least clarify my statement. Cast your mind back to March of this year. Do you remember Giro launching a gloriously over-the-top time-trial helmet at TirrenoAdriatico? How could you forget? The thing basically broke the internet for a few days and had every style critic on social media up in arms about how cycling has lost its elegance.
The helmet appeared hot on the heels of a spate of very aero-looking and clearly timetrial-inspired helmets that were being used by pros in gasp!-mass-start races. It also spurred some interesting conversations at Bicycling. A few brave folks on staff spoke up in defense of the helmets in the name of keeping time-trial tech weird. However, the general reaction was negative and, in my understanding, primarily focused on aesthetics.

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
AFTER I PARKED AT THE LAFAYETTE COLLEGE track for my workout, I did what I always do: I put my phone and wallet in the center console of my car and took the car key off the ring so I could fit it into the tiny pocket inside my running shorts.
