Did you not read the post? I'm not complaining. If I lived in the U.K. I'd still ride my bike. I know that high gas is contributing to the sullen economy in the U.S. but none of those things really affect me. I don't have any debt, I'm not losing money in the stock market, and I'm not a home owner and I'm not looking to be anytime soon.

I'm not complaining. I enjoy riding my bike and I really enjoy saving money. Something just piqued my curiosity so I thought I'd ask a question. That's all it was, a harmless question. Harmless, non-hostile answers are all that I wanted in return.
