The horse is starting to look sorta bedraggled from all the beating.

Clearly you don't mean that there is NOTHING objective. My top tube is objectively 28.6mm in diameter. I objectively rode my road bike 3.6 miles from the car repair shop to my office. I subjectively enjoyed myself. The bike subjectively felt fast to me. My Bombadil is objectively heavier than my road bike and objectively slower with a given effort. Subjectively I sometimes prefer to ride the Bombadil and sometimes I prefer to ride my road bike. Just because people have different personal preferences doesn't mean that there are no objectively measureable quantities in the world of cycling. Personal preference is subjective, that's for sure. I can't tell you what you prefer, and you can't tell me what I prefer. But there are plenty of aspects of cycling that are objectively measureable. Those objective truths don't have to force your preference, but your preference doesn't change the measurements either. You just like what you like. Maybe what you mean is that there is nothing in cycling that is both purely qualitative and objective. Everybody makes qualitative judgments for themselves, subjectively. If that's what you meant, then I agree with you. Sorry for delving into Philosophical Phriday.
