    Discrete packaging always reminds me how a bicycle company made their shipping boxes look like smart TVs so package handlers wouldn’t break them.

      What’s even more important than discrete packaging is discreet packaging.

      If a bicycle can’t handle being shipped I’m failing to understand how it can it handle being ridden…

        They’re designed for impacts in mostly one direction. Your knees can run just fine, but a kick to the side and you can easily destroy them.

              The head is pretty much made to take a beating and protect the brain as much as possible, so I don’t see any single direction it would be better at but of course the forehead is better than the other parts. Maybe headbutting played a role in evolution?

              Shoulders, from what I see, as long as you keep the muscles tight (and not get tired doing so), should give similar results in all directions, though having the impact taken by the limbs first, would significantly reduce direct damage to the joint.

        Sure, but the same bicycle that lands you safely from a 5 meter drop on a mountain trail will get bent and useless if dropped two feet over a rock at the wrong angle. Bicycles are a compromise between material lightness and structural strength. Carbon fiber cracks and aluminum bends if you apply force at the precise angle, and it doesn’t take too much to ruin a bicycle. Hit a curb at low speed at the wrong angle and you can ruin a frame forever. Sure, the bicycle will still ride, but the balance will be all out of whack from then on.

        Also, in most of the world, guarantees don’t cover shipping. So any damage is the responsibility of the courier, and good luck with that claim. The alternative is costly shipping insurance for high value items. It is not like couriers are gentle with TVs, it’s that they have the same misinformed beliefs as this comment and are rougher with other items they incorrectly perceive as tougher.

        If just changing the packaging significantly reduces property destruction, then the problem wasn’t the bicycle’s durability.

        That’s why I don’t trip if my electronics are handled a lil bit rough in transit. I rather they break in shipping so I can return them and steer clear of that company than later because they’re flimsy shitty products. That said, I understand some electronics need to be handled with care.

            Thats the Gladiator or Overcompensator as I call it. Unless youre talking about one of the real old pick ups the Cherokee sport and Wagoneer bodies are based off of.

        It was an aprils fools joke from the company. I found the authors website, where he showcases it as part of his portfolio: https://mauricevanberkel.nl/portfolio-tag/easytoys/ And it is documented here also: https://www.adformatie.nl/merkstrategie/1-aprilgrappen-van-merken-professioneler-dan-ooit

    I ordered a sex toy once to a communal place I was living. Okay fine it was a buddhist temple.

    The website said they’d use discreet packaging. NOPE. Their box was labeled and even had a logo for their company, which sells nothing but sex toys.

    Their idea of “discreet packaging” was that the box was regular brown cardboard, so that anyone observing from fifty feet away wouldn’t be able to see that it was anything special.

    I chewed out their support staff on the phone. For fuck’s sake.

        Americans view Europeans in general as weirdly comfortable around sexuality. Which is I think just a side effect of Americans in general being bizarrely prudish around sexuality.

        … did you see the license plate? It’s definitely European. And all i’m saying is Europeans are so weirdly forward about sexuality for some reason, whether it be vans with giant dildos on them, or nudity on billboards. I’m not saying repression is good either, but there should be a balance.
