For those who fondly recall 13~17 freewheels, there's a new 10~50 cassette!
50 teeth! Wow, I never thought I'd see the day when my 34 tooth biggest
cog was considered too small.
I'm getting a little out of date. I gotta catch up.

Ah, you give us a voucher to make fun of your dorky handlebar bag and all the other stuff you bolted to your bike one more time. Keep up the good work.
You are not a true utility cyclist. Be quiet. You probably wear a helmet, also known as a head-shackle.

I'm certainly not a true utility cyclist. Hauling gallons of milk or crates of beer seems silly to me if you have a car on your driveway.
That's interesting. The U.S. currently has an enthusiastic industry and
publicity machine saying we should build Netherlands-style bike paths
everywhere.
Why? Because then people will stop driving their cars!
I seem to remember talk about an increase in cycling when the gasoline
price went sky high. Perhaps that is an easier solution than building
bicycle paths. Just raise the price of fuel :-)
We actually are seeing a surge in bicycling right now.
A friend asked me to give advice on buying two bikes for his twin
7-year-old kids. I had to tell him there are none. I checked four bike
shops to make sure.
But a salesman in one shop said "You could try telling him to look for
used bikes online, but those are pretty hard to find too. Really, next
year will be a _great_ time to buy a used bike! Most people will be
selling the ones they bought."
