80's Rock was good, but an 80's bike!?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The only time New Order is "secondary" is when they are compared to Joy Division.

I've never listened to Jonathon Richmond.....

but, if anyone is near Cambridge MA, then do yourself a HUGE favor and try to find his former guitarist (Asa Brebner) playing in some hole in the wall dive. The man is a pretty incredible songwriter & live performer and doesn't give a flying crap whether anyone likes him or not.

Asa is on the right:
