“the land of rape and honey”

I’m convinced we should just depopulate the midwest and intermountain west of both canada and the U.S., cede the land back to the indigenous populations, and anyone from that region who wants to move back has to accept native government. The rest can go live in texas.

Both of those factors are critically important.

My wife went and looked at them at their showroom in Seattle and was so horrified by the assembly quality she refused a test ride. This is how we’ve ended up with a series of Terns and Xtracycles.

I bought an xtracycle on sale, so it was only 5 grand, and yano, I get why people buy rad power bikes. That said, they’re still total fucking garbage.

But seriously, there’s no place in the market for local vendors to make a buck selling a decent entry level bike?

all these bikes are imported from contract factories by a couple really large companies with not-shit bikes in their portfolio, so ultimately a failure could find a legally responsible party: that said most failures likely are of the slow variety rather than the losing teeth variety.

Last kids bike I bought for $175 and sold for... $175.
