It's just like that. I've been picking out sweet treats for the better part of a decade only to bite into them bitterly disappointed and then toss them back into the box. I've got a case of gnawed off desserts and a hunger for something more.
I guess the key is not to be fooled by the chocolate covered outside. It's what's on the inside that matters. It all looks so good on the exterior but the surprise inside...you know what I'm saying. We've all confidently chewed into that little square delight only to find strawberry coconut nougat when we really wanted caramel.
Take fruit cake. Who really likes these things? It's the season of giving, however. Giftee Beware. You take all your rotten cores and disguise them with fluffy white cake hoping no one will notice. The problem with tiny chocolates is A) they are irresistible and B) you can't slice them open to find what you have before committing.
Fair enough. Since it's always about the bike....I'll keep my single speed thank you very much. I have one gear, it always works, I know what I'm going to have to put in, and I know what I'm going to get out. You can keep your 21 speed where certain combinations don't work, a sliver of crumpled leaf can throw a chain, and the constant upkeep is overly demanding. That relationship is too high maintenance for me.
Simple is as simple does. I don't want gears I don't really need. You might have to work harder but there's no need carrying around excessive baggage for a one or two time use. I'm ready to get unstuck; it's time to pull that stick out of my spokes and really get moving! Besides, spoke cards work much better than wood...even with a bamboo frame.
