Welcome, from SE Wisconsin.
You have sure traveled a lot! It's funny to think that you were going to school nearby to me at some point, with us on different paths in life, and now years later we meet up here and discover our paths have nearly crossed.
Is Moldova disappointing in terms of bike infrastructure compared to Belgium? I've visited Belgium once and it is a bike commuting paradise.
One thing about the vintage bikes is that they are maybe not too attractive to thieves, who are looking at bikes that are worth a lot to resell and not needing any work. It's a smart angle you have chosen there. Where do you store them all?!
