I commute every day by #bicycle and I decided to buy a new #bike.

In the past I would have gone online and read some #reviews and comparisons and made a choice. Now that is nearly impossible, because so many of the "reviews" are #AI #LLM #slop summaries of, I dunno, forum posts about a completely different bike or something.

Instead I have e-mailed a list of my requirements to my #local #bikeshop and asked them what's available. Should have done that first.
