It has been my observation that there are two basic types of bike commuters. There are those on the bike who, like me and most BF posters, want to be. Then there are those that have to be. Those that want to be, regardless of the style of bike they prefer, tend to be more educated, or at least have better paying jobs. Most probably make enough that they have other options besides the bike. Those that have to commute by bike are usually on the bike for economic reasons. Sure, there are a number who ride for legal reasons, usually having to do with alcohol, but is seems that most are just too poor to afford a car. They are usually seen salmoning, or on sidewalks, and riding the cheapest bikes possible.

You'll be movin' to Montana soon?
