I know emmeff or m.f is going to object to this....
However I have always thought of a bicycle as a basic form of transport by anyone to get to work, post office etc. I think as it as a poor man's form for transport ... a humble form of transport.
And I don't mean poor in a demeaning way I mean that someone does not have the money for expensive things.
To me foremost a bike is a cheap way of getting to work and I kinda run the risk of injory of death on the way there for penny pincing. All my bikes barring my specialized allez has had some bodges along the way to get it to completion,
I am interested in others opinions ... I personally think riding to work (apart from the enjoyment) is a great way to save cash, but do you guys think you that this symbolizes you are financially poor (which I couldn't give a monkeys about) or that you are ahead of the game ....
I find though that there are beaters that are nicer than my nicest bike on here ....
