Thought this was funny

There's an advertisement attached to it, but not annoyingly so.

I'm reluctant to click on a blind link. Perhaps a description would be helpful. Otherwise it will remain unclicked regardless of how funny it might have been.

It's a video comprising a voiceover and primitive animation that purports to be about the differences between commuter cyclists and road/racing cyclists and quickly becomes about road/racing cyclists. It is meant to be humorous. I found it very funny.

Bob, I admire your efforts to be safe, but basically ALL links are blind links. You have to put a certain amount of trust in your fellow human beings and the moderators/gatekeepers here.

I almost never post links & I was doing this from my phone. I just cut and pasted the YouTube address, if someone knows how I can make links less "blind" in the future I will try to implement some improved procedure.

I think what he means is there was no description of the video. One's funny is another's "ok what??", but I clicked it anyway. And discovered I'm so far removed from "serious cyclists" and anything BikeSnob might satirize that I mostly didn't get it. I must be a commuter! 😬

Here's one reference to the type of humor in the video:

My favorite reference was cyclists don’t have kids because pregnant women 🤰 are not aero 😂.

I purposely didn't give too much description, because I thought it best if people went in cold. No expectations.

I am really starting to see the effect that Grant, Jan, the Radavist, Crust, etc. Are having on the broader cycling mindset. I was riding the other day when I was passed by a small group of what I would typically refer to as "Roadies", but you could call'em "Fred's" or whatever. What caught my attention, is that they ALL had bikes with WIDE tires! 38 to 42mm.
My first thought was "Gravel bikes"?
So, maybe there is hope for road bikes after all? Maybe we will finally get a schism between "cyclist" & Racers?

FWIW, I took a screenshot of the video thumbnail image and pasted it here.

The classic Joe Friday/Dragnet "just the facts ma'am" take: It's a video from a YT member called "Casually Explained" who "casually explain" all sorts of subjects in a satirical manner.
