oh, the horror. someone in envious of someone else.
I think there is a problem with the cost of bicycles and that if manufacturers and not government do not address that we're going to have another fallout of bicycle brands.

earlier this year. meh.
Do you wake every morning in tears for all the fax stores or
video rentals which closed up?
Andrew, rather than point it out I would hope that you immediately recognized the difference that technology made no longer necessary and one that went through so many layers of bureaucracy that they priced themselves out of business. Of course you'reno doubt right that it's no big deal but don't you prefer the specialty houses? Don't you wonder what Schwinn might have become?
Rather then compare costs in dollars try comparing them in hours of
work at minimum salary rates. In January this year minimum salary in >California was $15.50/hour. 5 years ago, 1 Jan 2018, it was
$11.00/hour.
