Agreed. Fully.

My ideal 2020, which will most certainly be different from the real one, will have fewer leaf blowers, fewer drivers but more of them knowing how to drive around a bicycle, fewer jack hammers, a reasonable selection of gumwall tires, reduced CO2 in the atmosphere, more bike lanes, and more banjos. With a bit of luck and St. Tullio's help I'll still be riding as I turn 72.

Move to Europe, Jim! Except for maybe the banjos we have it all.
