> Bicycles are beautiful because of their simplicity.
and also the way that essentially a single idea can cover so many bases... high speed racing, hauling materials, going shopping, travelling with everything you need for thousands of miles, bombing down mountainsides, climbing up huge mountains ... all this from essentially one simple idea. So wonderful!
All of the things you want added to a bicycle are relatively cheap and easy to install on your own if you want them.
If you don’t you pay an expert at your local bike shop to do it for you. In fact, if you were in the process of buying a bike shop from an LBS you could tell them all of the things you wanted. They will literally build whatever bike you want lol.
But if the trivial amount of practice that it takes to “balance” while gesturing a turn signal is too much for you, maybe bicycling just isn’t your thing. If getting accustomed to navigating in Vim is too much for you, maybe you just need an IDE, instead.
