Though it may be none of my bee's wax, I have difficulty understanding why anyone would troll. What does a troll get out of trolling? Does he or she enjoy being ridiculed? Or do they, somehow, think that it upsets others? That said, well, I don't know what else to say. Perhaps it is because trolls make us feel better about ourselves. Ya, that's it. That's the ticket. Feeling better already:-)

I like it. When we go public, our company will become a meme stock due to the global pandemic's effect on the popularity of both cycling and trolling. Sea shanties will be sung about us on Tiktok, and if we get lucky we can capitalize on it with a new cryptocurrency. When we roll it out, one Cheezcoin (or Waxcoin?) will be worth $3.50.

@tcs, Was over there in June of 2017 and saw a fantastic exhibit. Many different generations of the bicycle shown. It was neat to see the evolution of design all in one place.

You never know - some people might be into that sort of thing.

Can we make this whole thread into an NFT and sell it on Ebay?

You can buy one. It has been languishing on ebay.it for a year now-ish.
