It's not funny. It's not cute. Your story about some asinine thing that's completely made up is dumb. And you should feel bad about yourself for pushing it out into the ether. Yes, I get that we try to be a welcoming bunch here at RideApart, but this is my one exception: April Fools' "pranks."
I hate them.
Over the decades I've been writing about the industry, I've seen everything from manufacturers. Fake products that could've been cool, and trash things that should be yeeted from our collective memories. I was even around when Volkswagen stated with a straight face for weeks that it was changing its name to "Voltswagen" and then, after so much pressure, both outside and in, said it was a joke. They got so much shit for that stunt, and deservedly so.
