It should be taught in school IMO. It's really fun and a good way to get around when you're like 13 and can't drive yet.

Heck it's a good way to get around as an adult!

I'm not overweight, but i do ride a bike i got for $40 that was just an old steel frame from the 70s and i built it up using old parts from my old bike whose frame i had broken

total cost of bike $100

You can keep your fancy $2k racing bike I <3 steel touring bikes from the 70s, also Pittsburgh winters would destroy a fancy bike anyway

The only "bike clothing" i have is rain pants, and that's only because rain pants aren't a normal thing so there's only bike & hike versions

My gloves are technically snowboarding gloves cause i got them cheap on ebay

If you bike below 20 F lobster claw gloves are the poo poo, but really use whatever gloves you want!
