Forthcoming Rivendell single speed, per Blahg

[Patrick Moore]

Now this sound fun. But why not ride something like this on trails? I rode sand with 50s until I discovered the Schwalbe Big One ex-lite.

2. RoadUno: A one-speed for the road that no doubt some people will ride on trails, but don't. It can be a paved road, a gravel road or dirt road, but it's not going to be a cross bike or Hillibike or anything like that. Its 2-inch tire capacity notwithstanding, or whatever the word is.

I think Grant means don't go jumping logs on his road bike and expect the frame to take it. In my mind gravel and dirt roads are "trails", but I've been on much gnarlier stuff than that.

Just read this from same:. Grant is too nice to be sarcastic (I mean that sincerely), but this comes close.

Here's something we're not working on, but it has potential to make life better in cities and worse in mountains. It's the Musk-Bike. You may have seen this already.

Eventually it'll have drones built-in, for AI accident avoidance. Not a joke, all serious, I believe this is the way it's all going. Nothing that happens with bikes in the future will make normal bicycles any less relevant or suited to getting around. It's just that, you know, it's wired into our DNA to want everything for nothing.

There will be DIY home liposuction machines and While-U-Sleep muscle stimulators so you can wake up stronger. There will be a way to add or take melanin out of your skin, for better or worse. Models will go for it for sure. The new/reissue of Google glasses will have video capabilities, too, and the technology will make its way into contact lenses, which may help beating victims record the attacks. Everything is a mix of good and bad, danger and potential. 

Anything involving Musk makes me simultaneously curse and laugh, tho' I'd be happy to have the US take control of e-bike mfring .
