There is great ,and honored, history in the use of the bicycle for
everyday folk's in everyday common use as transportation.
Shame on you for being such woosies.
Well, its what the racers and other real cyclists call me. Where it actually makes a difference is when I go buy some spokes at the local bike shop and the mechanic says "I'll replace the spokes but will have to charge you extra because the bike looks different." I'll just do it myself, but what if I wanted someone to work on the bike? It makes a difference when I have to show the mechanic how easy it is to check something. When practical bikes become more common it will be easier to get parts and the shop won't charge people $5.00 to pop the chain case off.
