Haha, what a good point!
(and very timely, my road bike carbon seat post just developed a crack a few days ago and the bike is out of service until a replacement is in). One of the pandemic blessings at my current position has been that I can use the fancy bikes all the time, because I don't need to worry about locking things up - it's really nice, and as you say, switching it up has kept it interesting.
I wonder what (other) responses I would have received, if this was a thread in the road cycling forum
