This is uber-geek town, USA. We've got NASA and the Redstone Arsenal and all their defense contractors plus the second largest research park in the country. Can't swing a cat without hitting an engineer. If there are any messengers in town they probably drive BMW's. Bike shops sell a ton of road bikes, mountain bikes, hybrid/comforts. Old guys get their recumbent fix from Birmingham or Nashville. Fixies come in by Fedex.
