    Growing up in the 2000s a friend of mine got a bike with fake suspension. It was just plastic coverings on the front forks made to look like springs.

    I got a soft spot for stupid gimmicks on childrens products I fell for most of them lmao.

      Yeah. I felt the same as a kid, and officially I’ve grown out of it.

      Except, in my heart, I know that if they would sell that kind of thing and more for modern adult bikes…I would be out a lot of money.

      I would gladly carry an extra 20 lbs of cheesy plastic on my bike if it looks cool enough.
