Nutteloos #157 - Zomer - Herfst - Winter Topic
A recent study was done to find out why Millennials don't ride MTB:
1. Pants won't pull up far enough for them to straddle the seat.
2. Can't get their phone to their ear with a helmet on.
3. Can't use 2 hands to eat while riding.
4. They don't get a trophy and a recognition plaque just for buying one.
5. Don't have enough muscle to hold the bike up when stopped.
6. Might have a bug hit them in the face and then they would need emergency care.
7. MTBikes don't have air conditioning.
8. They can't afford one because they spent 12 years in college trying to get a degree in Humanities, Social Studies or Gender Studies for which no jobs are available.
9. They are allergic to fresh air.
10. Their pyjamas get caught in the rear derailleur.
11. They might get their hands dirty lubing the chain.
12. The handle bars have buttons and levers and cannot be controlled by touch-screen.
13. You have to shift manually.
14. It's too hard to take selfies while riding.
15. They don't come with training wheels like their toddler bicycles did.
16. MTBikes don't have power steering or power brakes.
17. They would have to use leg muscle to ride.
18. It could rain on them and expose them to non-soft water.
19. It might scare their therapy dog, and then the dog would need therapy.
20. Can't get the bike down the basement stairs of their parent's home.

Conclusie: 50plussers zijn muf. Ze stinken en zijn lui.
Dacht even dat het over e-bikers ging maar ze hebben het over mij
Nou, bedankt hé!
Gelukkig rijd ik wel MTB...
Volgens mijn BMI ben ik bijna 15cm 13cm 11½cm 10,3cm te kort.

Dit lijstje gaat over de "jongelui".
Wij behoren tot de Generation X, de pragmatische generatie:
De millennials (Generatie Y) zijn een demografische generatie, volgend op de pragmatische generatie. Hoewel er geen eenduidige definitie van millennials is, wordt deze meestal gehanteerd als geboren tussen 1980 en 2000. Hun ouders zijn veelal van de babyboomgeneratie (1940-1965) of van de generatie X (1960-1980).

JW (1967) was blijkbaar vooral gefocust op de droge inhoud van die 20 regeltjes en was in de veronderstelling dat het over middle-agers ging...
Pag 99 is nu vol. Aan wie mag ik nu het woord geven?
Meegs en Jefro? Dat hebben wij 'm toch maar even mooi gefixt hier hé?
