Is this a joke?


No. *It's really quite binary. *Either a rider IS or IS NOT riding a
steel frame. *Any attempt at bringing in the odds based on what a
sampling of riders may or may not ride may be relevant to you deciding
whether or not it's likely that a rider may be using a particular
frame, but... for any given rider, it is as simple as IS or IS NOT.


Then do you also think that there are 50/50 odds that they are riding a
lead bike?

If the question is, is the rider using a lead bike vs all other
options, then no. While not infinite, there are lot's of non-lead
alternatives.

If the question is, is the rider using a lead bike or not, then yes,
it's a yes/no scenario.
