My local bike coop is full of very dependable, freshly tuned bikes that average around $150, built with love and care by expiriend mechanics. If you have issues with your bike, those same mechanics will guide you through the process of fixing it and give you access to every tool you could possibly need to do so, all for free or suggested donation.

How do you convince the world to go vegan without looking like you're merely asking them to forego the luxury that your own liberal society has been dumping on you your entire life?
It's important to maintaining my self-image as a cool and aloof guy that you know I'm not doing the nice thing out of the goodness of my heart.
Are we doing that whole confusing "I declare a general strike" thing again?
I do this, not because I'm courteous but because if I take one from the outdoor corrals I don't have to wait behind three grannies slowly selecting carts from the inside corral.
