On the other hand, when a decent bike costs as much as a nice
pre-loved Mercedes, why should anyone except a masochist or an
environmental lemming choose the bicycle?


Have you ever wrenched on a classic Mercedes? I'll that the bicycle,
thanks.


I had one friend whose neighbor was constantly working on his classic
Mercedes. Every time my friend would go over there while the neighbor
was under the car, or had the hood open, he would say "the German way is
the only way."

If you're sad about something, a bicycle ride will do more to cheer you
up than driving a Mercedes.
