It punches me in the soul when someone uses the phrase “acoustic bike.” I get that people are using it like it is used in guitars, but it makes no sense when applied to bikes.

The literal definition of acoustic from the dictionary is “of or relating to sound, the sense of hearing, or the science of sound.” Non-electric bikes barely make any sound! Calling them “acoustic”… it is a terrible label.

Acoustic doesn’t have a top tube…
