2nd class all the way. I swear I never new what classism felt like (or what racism may feel like) untill I started biking. I had my girlfriend's landlord constantly give me crap cause I biked. It's like he didn't want me in his nice apartments because he thought I was poor. Needless to say I straitened that prick right out, but damn it's tiring to be constantly fighting. I really feel for all of the minorities and new imigrants to America. I think that's one of the good things about biking in this invironment, it gives us a better understanding of the world and people around us. All that said I'd still rather be treated with respect on the roadways.
