Residents/home owners unfortunate enough to randomly have had them built outside their homes are incandescent.
It remains to be seen how impenetrable they are to thieves

A month or so back I was watching a lot of GoPro downhill mtn. bike videos, and that got me really wanting a dual suspension bike. Some of those trails out in Utah are just nuts - look like a ton of fun. But for around here there really isn't much need for a dual suspension - can't really afford one anyway.

You call it luck, I call it skill.
Plus I like walking, and this is a small country with pretty good public transport. I've never felt a lack of independence - quite the opposite in fact.
Good to see you back, K.

It is supposed to be funny, but maybe you should try getting anywhere at the weekend where I live. all the filthy Londoners who think it will be ever so much fun to bring their bikes and their lycra to go for a ride in the Chilterns. First of all they all park wherever they like, and block the roads for residents. Then off they go in packs of 15 or 20, often 5 abreast, shouting at each other as they go. Riding 5 abreast and screaming abuse at anyone who might dare to want to go more than 10 mph along a 70 mph stretch of road. But can you get past them ? No you can not. Not for all the wanker signs, and verbal abuse and trying to throw themselves in front of you whilst calling you a lunatic. They are all utter cunts. I was stuck behind a slow moving "peleton " (sic) of half dead 50 somethings, as the panted and groaned their way up Frith Hill at 5 mph. Each car that tried to pass was greeted with abuse and foul language , and hand waving gestures.
Who's the fuckwit now?
I would suggest this is a lie.

If you showed up to a pick up basketball game wearing a full-on NBA uniform, you'd be laughed off the court.
And believe me, because the Bay Area is loaded with money, they're all over the place on the weekends.
There's a lot of yellow jerseys out there, you are right. But I assume that when people play basketball they wear sports stuff? That's the parallel. I'm in a cycling club and so when I ride I wear the club colours. It helps people like Yomp recognise us as a collective and rail against us, but it also makes things much easier when cycling 60 miles. The lycra is wicking, so helps keep you warm and sweat free. I can keep an energy bar in the back pocket and, because bicycles are mechanical, things can go wrong, so it's useful to take that kind of equipment along too.
