Ken, my bicycle is my sole form of transportation and my sole source of income. Take it away and I'm on the skids, homeless, begging for food. Get the picture? There is nothing I need less than my bicycle.

A fisherman doesn't need his net unless he wants to eat.

I need a bicycle, and I'm not alone.

I would be very embarrassed to ride a $4000 bicycle, by the way, unless I was winning races on it. You and I lead very different lives. It is as hard for me to see from your perspective as it is for you to see from mine. You seem to be saying I could just get another job but it's not that easy.
