1. I'd like some bicycle relief.

I'd be very relieved to find a new bicycle that doesn't cost a thousand fucking dollars and doesn't have 28 speeds, and is not made out of plastic by children in China.

How about mass producing bikes fore TRANSPORTATION. Not sports. Not mountain biking. Not rallies. Something a 50 year old man rides to and from work, and to the grocery store.

I HATE what I find in bicycle shops these days. It's fucking ridiculous.

2. If I could find/build a cheap recumbent bike

I'd be all over that.
