These bikes look so cool and I am jealous of anyone that can go carless. I dream of a day when a car is a rarity for me. But right now we live in (a beautiful wonderful small) community where you pretty much have to drive about 25 miles, starting through a mountain pass, to get anywhere. And I know I am lying to myself a little here. We can't dump the car, but we could ride bike daily to the store to pick up groceries. Sure, the groceries cost more, but that's the price of good entertainment, right? AND that's great justification for adding racks and nice bags to my bike because then I will truly need them. I will start making that a priority, at least until the weather makes it not a good idea for me. And if I make it until the weather turns, maybe I'll figure that one out a little better but for now me on icy hilly roads don't seem like a good idea.
Of course, what struck me immediately in Patrick's posting was "think how many cool bikes they could have if they would both go carless" I realize that may not be practical, just like it isn't for me right now. But I'll bet Patrick's daughter will follow in his footsteps and look at her car some day and think "how can I get rid of this?" >> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
