I'm one of those cycleist types. I have about about 4 mountain bikes at the moment; my personal bike, my back-up bike, and 2 I'm in the process of rebuilding.
I bike at least 3 miles a day to and from work, and, thanks to an excellent trail system we have here, I manage* to stay off ot the roads for the most part.
If I do find myself on a highway, however, in the shoulder going AGAINST traffic is my preferred tactic. That way, I can see what's coming at me and get the f*ck out of the way if need be. It's saved my ass more than once.
*edit: one too many vowels.
Looking for an exciting, recession-proof career opportunity??

A friend of mine a year later bought a $4500 bike, I believe a Trek Madone, a wonder to ride in every way.

JWBL...I live in Colorado...you've goota have an MTB or they force you to move to FLA. I'm with ya on the cost of good bikes, though. $5-6K is definitely something to rant about. My budget won't allow that absolutely rediculous indulgence. but, unless you are a tri-athlete, or something along that line, a bike at $500 or less is more than adequate.
