The metaphor relates to people deciding the colour of the bike shed instead of designing a nuclear power station. Because that’s difficult, and having opinions on a bike shed looks like work, but it’s distinctly unhelpful to the real work.
No I’m perfectly aware that my opinion about the metaphor isn’t related to it’s point and is perhaps even supportive of it’s idea of unhelpful work distraction in a meta sort of way. I just don’t like scenarios where bikes are positioned as a triviality. I’d pick a different metaphor cause that’s my opinion.
