This is funny to me, seeing as how Santa Cruz mountain bikes sure ain't cheap, and the run of the mill roadie in California is usually decked out in no less than $2,000 worth of bike, not counting all the other ****(helmet fixed dentists mirror, scrotal chamois, etc etc). There are plenty of "liberal hippie rich kids" in Santa Cruz...
