Summary

We all have our preferences, and no matter how objective and impartial we are, they can still color our reviews. That's why we try to be transparent about those preferences when writing a product review, be it a fondness for a certain suspension trait, an unexplainable love for headache-inducing internally routed cables, or maybe only liking blue bikes. Number 62 is all about editor preferences and why they matter.

Hey everyone. Welcome back to another Pink Bike podcast. I'm Mike Levy, your usual host for these things.

0:12.2

And I am, without a doubt, biased. It's true. I really do like and dislike some things over other things for reasons that may not make sense to

0:21.7

you or even myself on some days, or those reasons may seem a bit unfair, which is the literal

0:27.9

definition of being biased. So, episode 62 is titled Editor Preference and Why They Matter. So the

preferences when writing product reviews, and it's why today's podcast is all about

1:12.4

editor preferences, why they matter, and why it's important that you should be aware of them,

1:18.0

so you can make better decisions when you're buying bikes and gear. So, as usual, I've got Mike

1:23.2

Kazimer on the Pink Pod, who I'm sure will be happy to point out all of my questionable preferences

1:28.4

for the next hour.

1:30.5

Casimir, you and I have very different priorities when it comes to pretty much anything and

1:35.3

everything, be it bikes, cars, food, animals, and who knows what else.

1:41.9

But I think that makes our reviews and our conversations a little more interesting, eh?

1:47.0

Yeah, we're good.

1:47.7

We have differences.
