Forget you, with your silly expensive bamboo or pounded copper full fenders. No spray stripe up his back, many healthy meals eaten, and only $1.99 spent.

And we are encouraging investments that go beyond the minimum requirements and provide facilities for bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities.
