Well I'm not 'that' old, however even in my experience there a notable changes. For example, and also from that other thread, somebody recommended a 'biker cafe' in Bedford and I thought "Oh that's not far from me I might check it out".
But then I looked on their website, only to find it has a GROOMING section. Yes, flippin GROOMING products!! I mean, don't get me wrong, once upon a time in parts of the biking community taking a weekly bath was considered grooming, but this is just getting ridiculous.
It's bad enough that these days you aren't just accepted for being a rider, you arrive somewhere and you're immediately judged on what bike you've got, what boots you've got, and now what frigging hairstyle and beard you've got. The fact that biking is now considered trendy\lifestyle (again - as if millenials invented it) to me just makes it exclusive rather than inclusive. Shame really.
