Bad. Ass.

"When I rolled up to the start line, people noticed. Some were curious. Some pointed. A few giggled."

I really would love to have seen the faces on the giggling snobs when they got spanked.

Its so clear an AI wrote that. I kinda wanted to hear the 13 year old speak. We are losing culture to these machines.

Good on her though.

That $512 Walmart bike is currently on sale at $348

Those Walmart bikes are something else. I've sold many to lots of happy riders. It's my go-to recommendation for the "I'm new, what should I buy?" folks.

They're not great out of the box but it's also not terrible, and is the type of platform that can be upgraded as you grow in the sport.

I didn’t mind this read. Agree the lassie has utilised AI and tbh given cycling is her passion it’s not a terrible assistant to her. Her story does still come through a lot.

Her attitude and thinking is quite mature but refreshing, and of course highlighted how much privilege has invaded something fun, esp for some of our youth. Glad she recognises adversity as a learning and virtue challenge not something that should be sidestepped with money.
