Why the **** you’d want to be attached to something that you might need to chuck away from you in a hurry is beyond me.
You clip out without thinking about it
You might clip out without thinking. I’ve broken a couple of bones and had a few crashes made worse by still being attached to the bike. I’ve got pretty decent reflexes, but no way could I unclip unless I see the accident coming. Bailing out on flats is a much easier and quicker option for me. I’ll never ride clipless again.
another one for hating clipless. I tried it and hated it.
never tried a tandem.
Tried pretty much everything

Don't think my kinda riding has suffered much either (not that I do much anymore)
Dropper post, 1x or 2x, a Cotic, falling off still clipped to my SPDs.....although this might be connected to never having done anything that might be remotely considered impressive, gnarr or rad....

Steel full suss. Not opposed to the idea, but no need to change at the moment.

Tyre inserts. Meh.
Linkage forks (more than just round a 100m demo loop). Meh
@P-Jay – Wouldn’t surprise me if your bike has no fluid in it, bikes that come tubeless tend to ship without
There’s fluid, it spaffs out when I attach the pump.
Minty arse lard.
A triathlon bike and thank god
@dirkpitt - seriously you need to try Maxxis tyres as the compound is sorted!
I’ve never been to center parcs.
Mat! Lol! My hire bikes got half inched there hence you really shouldn’t bother.
It’s the new Butlins
As far as MTB is concerned, the world stopped in about 2009 and I've not tried any of the modern stuff. I honestly though 29ers would be a flash in the pan so stuck with my fully rigid 3x9 26", straight steerered, tube tyred, narrow flat barred (did ditch bar ends), threaded bb (seems I've almost ridden myself back in fashion), 120mm stemmed bike.
I'm not sure I'd recognised a modern bike as the same sport.

Never owned an aluminium hardtail, DH bike or a fatbike. Ridden them all though and all my family have aluminium hardtails. Not sure if that’s much else I have missed out on...
