Yes, we do. Some of us survived the early 90s recession ... and some people here no doubt survived recessions before that as well.
During the leanest years in my life, I rode a department store road bicycle (a Venture from Zellers) with stock department store components.
I put thousands of kilometres on that bicycle, and learned to do some of my own maintenance.
I would have loved to spend more on my cycling back in those days, but rent, food, and other more critical expenses took priority.
