Its front end crumpled, cabin stayed intact and the dummy couldโve walked away with bruises. The old Blazer folded like a barbecue lawn chair. Dashboard in the lap, steering column invading personal space, airbag uppercutting the dummyโs head clean off. Progress is real.

The good news: REI is still selling bikes. The bad news: Meta’s AI tried to invent a new cycling category. An Instagram ad showed a Van Rysel bike with two sets of handlebars, prompting Reddit to roast the co-op for serving AI slop in hiking socks.
