Here's An Idea: No More Ass Clowns Like John Timmer Writing About Bikes

Genius!  This dope Timmer clearly doesn't ride and doesn't know shit about bikes.  All the stuff he talks about as major changes to road bike design amounts to shiny baubles when considered against the history of what we would call road racing bikes.  Now, if he'd talked about racing mountain bikes, like modern enduro and downhill bikes especially, with a short history of design and use and lots of useful and useless innovations and changes over that same short time, well, maybe, but that's not what he's talking about, so fuck him.
