Winter Walking and Cycling

[ijmorlan]

Doesn't that rig he's showing cost something a few thousand dollars? I'd be happy if I'm wrong about that, I just remember a friend checking them out once.

So, you mean like tens of thousands cheaper than a car to buy, and thousands less per year to maintain, making a it a financially very viable alternative to a second car? ;-) :-D

Indeed! Without in any way suggesting that bicycles are for lower-income people, consider that somebody with a very limited budget for vehicle purchases could, for the same money, buy either a real pile of junk car, or a top-notch bicycle. It makes more sense to see a poor person with a fancy carbon fibre bicycle than a poor person driving a car.
