Month: November 2013

This is supposed to look hardcore but Ironhorse is a garbage brand, like infinity or huffy. There is no way this woman is a real, experienced mountain biker. I don’t even care about mountainbiking but it bugs me that in porn, fashion photo shoots, hollywood movies, you get these people posing as cyclists but one quick look at the bikes shows something that no one has ever ridden more than a block. It’s a real turn off. How hard is it to consult with an experienced cyclist before you do an expensive photo shoot? I suppose its cuz everyone and their dog has a bike in their garage they might ride on a given Sunday and so thinks they know a lot about biking that that the reason they are huffing and puffing is due to being out of shape rather than they don’t know how to use gears and are riding an anchor like an Ironhorse…. blah blah blah <end rant>

(I might be so passionate because there are so many well composed photos out there that would be so awesome if you just photoshopped a decent bike overtop of the Huffy)

PS I’m not saying I don’t like a beater bike. If you’ve got a Huffy and its run into the ground and you are still riding it that is awesome. I get that people might have $0 and take a bike from the trash and use it. What I’m bitching about is the glossy photoshoot with hot model and the chromed up Ironhorse prop that they just picked up from WalMart for $189.95
