Bikes: Bridgestone RB-1. Nicely restored

Happens every year, typically in the April-May time frame. This guy's just a little early. We've heard all of it before. Did his diatribe mention having to "pay insurance"? That's a biggie here in MA, where auto insurance is compulsory. (Although the always resourceful MA drivers constantly engineer ways to try to beat the system. Methods include swapping plates from a registered, insured vehicle, to one that isn't, and making the first monthly or quarterly premium payment to get the registration, then just not paying again.)

Two facts most of us know already:

1. Bicycles were using American roads way before the first automobile made its appearance on said roads. Back then, cyclists shared the road with street cars and horse drawn buggies.

2. Everyone pays for infrastructure, including road maintenance and repair.

Thank you and good night!
