Bottled water that's more expensive than gasoline.

And $23.00 a gallon canned gasoline for lawn mowers and chain saws because pump gas ruins small engine's fuel systems.

Trek 500 Kid
Aerodynamic bicycle brake cables and index downtube shift levers. When I rode my Trek 500 out of the dealers my shift cable was a little out of adjustment so I took the index plates out of the then-new tech Shimano SIS levers and threw them in the ditch. I never did set back up index shifters on any of my rides yet.

A full tank is still more than your monthly water and sewer bill in a small town tho'...

I expected it would come and go, just as disco did.

Bikeforums took me by complete surprise.
Also didn't see the McRib sandwich coming.
And 13 y.o. girls who look like the 18 y.o. girls of my childhood days.

I can still remember when people would return from vacation, then share photos of what they saw, and their faces were not obstructing every shot.

When I was a kid I never imagined that I would be riding bikes as I approached 60 years old. In fact I would have never imagined anything that I have done 5 years before I did it!

"They call it toasting in Jamaica and rapping in the United States. One or more vocalists rhythmically chant, rather than sing, lengthy, breathless sequences of homilies, seductive sweet nothings, social commentary and self-delectation over instrumental dance music that's heavy on the bass and the backbeat, and usually prerecorded.
