Thanks for the "average" images.

Is that what makes the Europeans look more civilized, or do they ride so because they were more civilized? In America, while impressing others as being brave adventurers, we have to also face discrimination by the cops and aggression by the drivers,
I wish the U.S. market include more bikes with fenders and chain guards. They are so rare here.
