Oh, you poor naive fool. A few more years of people offering you rides, asking how long it will be before you get your license back, if you lost your mortgage in the crisis, screaming to get on the sidewalk, daily drooling over the website of bike you can't afford, people throwing open beers and screaming that
youhave no right to the road, upgrading your brakes (the fourth time) and feeling lonely and left out without internet access to Bike Forums, you will embrace
the way. You have much too learn grasshopper.
