[The statement a bike makes might be I'm poor or in debt, I lost my license because I'm a drunk, I'm a nerd, I'm a liberal and a hippie underneath this corporate clothing, or who knows what. I kinda hope my bike says either super off-the-charts geek or smart engineering type (which I'm not--smart yes, engineer no)]

That makes me an anomaly among the anomalies: Non of the above, just a daily commuter, self controlled, Proto-Con (as opposed to Neo-Con), gun carrying, meat eating, Republican, Presbyterian and it doesn't bother me a bit. Don
