Pack up a few beers, some weed “hey man, let’s go for a klunk”

This was briefly in fashion in 2014 when Transition released their Klunker. It turned out that most people who bought them couldn’t in fat ride them as fast and rad as Lars Sternberg and they quickly went back out of fashion again.

mtb has a divergent evolution from about the same period. klunkers being ridden by hippies in California and working class people going on offroad group adventures in England. both wound up designing and building a very similar bike at a time when they were apart from each other. a klunker revival came about a few years ago and there are some people that will take rides on them but its not a dominate fashion.
