I don't believe there is a "free ride"... even if it's on a bike.
I hope you know, I was yanking your chain a bit!!
What I see in this thread is, people choose to make it cost more than it needs to.
I worked with a fellow that bought things just because they cost more. He would go
to a high end store and pay twice what it cost down the street. His reason, "I don't
buy cheap crap!". He wore designer jeans to work as a janitor in a Jr high school.
And $400 shoes. And $140 hair cuts. He parked a six month old Harley because the
pipes turned blue and he was ashamed to ride it.
We all make chooses and some cost more than others. I choose to keep my money.
