From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's a weird-looking mountain bike in the thumbnail...
It's two penny-farthings welded together back-to-back. It's a freakbike for doing stunt-riding, which is still way closer to stuff like mountain biking and bmx than it is to 'normal' utility or road cycling.
And yes, he also owns a couple of Bromptons and has made the very occasional video on urban cycling. But that doesn't make him the best channel for it. I'm not throwing shade on the guy; I'm just saying it's just not his focus.
(He also doesn't cover stuff like, say, pro cycling or MAMIL-style road cycling. I hesitate to mention GCN 'cause I think I'd get flamed if I called them the "best" at anything, but they definitely cover those topics more than Seth does.)
The point is, he covers a lot more than just mountain bikes.
The industry is moving to 32" wheels now.
He's just ahead of the curve.
