"Oh, he must have gotten a DUI conviction and lost his license" or "he's too poor to buy a car", which I find especially ironic (in a humorous way) because my bike is more expensive than a lot of cars I see on the road around here.

This guy must be too poor to buy a car! When will they ride to work? When they'll be too poor to buy gas... Cycling in wet/cold cities is popular because cycling keeps you warm and make you feel alive while waiting at the bus stop is cold, wet and miserable. ;-) David, Ghost,

It's strange how cities with wet/cold or wet AND cold conditions are the leaders in bike-friendly cities, yet pleasant-weather areas lag far behind. I wonder if anyone has done a study on that?

I've been commuting for years now. My bike of choice, a 79 raliegh 3spd with rod brakes, I think it's called a roadster. Who knows? Go Bike Month!
