Actually, i'm struggling to support my family. Really, i probably make
less money than you do, as well as being a northern Idaho resident my
entire life (except the 10 regrettable years i spent in Boise). Most
of that was spent on a farm near Orofino.

I do not understand what upsets you about bicycles. They have been
around much longer than the much celebrated SUV, and from a global
standpoint they are also a more *popular* form of transportation than
_all_ automobiles combined. 

If my mentioning a few of the many benefits that bicycles have given
me is the sort of behavior that caused you to LEAVE Moscow, then you
probably won't be happy anywhere.
