For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.

Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

It is printed on it and I don't understand why this happened - you have the handles which are the best way to handle it.

i know, i know, the handles would be enough for most folks... and all the text.. this has gone into the "I do not give a shit" category I think..

this other person in this thread is insisting that the workers are fully competent and dutiful, and the only reason this has happened is because the management pushes them to work beyond what could be considered reasonable (which is essentially certainly also true, but I don't believe is the sole cause of bags getting fucked from five feet away upside down)
