What I likely underestimate is my own vulnerability to this technology. The psychological and neurological mechanisms that sort real from imagined [...] don’t always check in with the part of you that might know better. They don’t consult your AI literacy or your PhD or your healthy skepticism about OpenAI’s privacy policy. They run underneath all of that, and they trust pictures.

All of cycling has been entirely deconstructed, tossed into a blender, and reassembled a la Frankenstein, into every bike type imaginable. 650 B may be dead, but you can buy a Brompton with even smaller wheels in a gravel spec. Velo Orange makes a Neutrino Mini Velo with fat tires. WHAT IS IT FOR?! Doesn’t matter. It exists, and I’ll bet it’s fun. If you have a mood, a subculture, a vibe, or a fetish, someone makes and sells a bike to match it.
