Wow. Me too. I had a 1980 or 81 Peugeot Super Vitus racer. So gorgeous. Regardless of functionality (and it was great), it was worth it just as industrial/mecha

Wow. Me too. I had a 1980 or 81 Peugeot Super Vitus racer. So gorgeous. Regardless of functionality (and it was great), it was worth it just as industrial/mechanical art. I'm totally with you regarding your opinion on cars and how arbitrary our attachment to using them is in many situations. But after bicycle commuting for almost 25 years and seeing how uninterested people are, even "progressive" childless 20-somethings in a very walkable, rideable, progressive town with a good climate, I'm more apt to meet people where they are at and fix the problem we have (emissions from burning gasoline) rather than try to force people to redefine the problem and choose the solutions I prefer.
