3. free air at the gas stations, coffee houses, etc. — Air is free as gas stations. If you ask nicely, I'll lend you my pump.
4. No cars or trucks — Not yet.
5. people who are nice to their fellow cyclists and neighbor — That describes most of the people here.
6. roads that heat up in the winter — No, the roads here heat up in summer.
7. no flats — Haven't figured how to solve that problem yet.
