Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
Oh, so lovely sittin'
Abso-bloomin'-lutely still
I would never budge till spring
Crept over me window sill
sorry, triggered by Would it Not be Wonderful.. ha.

problem is the Bicycle Relief bikes are massively overbuilt and shipped together with a support network.. cheap Chinese bikes with no parts available would end up rusting in a heap.. or just maybe re-engineered..

"It is a good feeling for old men who have begun to fear failure, any sort of failure, to set a schedule for exercise and stick to it. If an aging man can run a distance of three miles, for instance, he knows that whatever his other failures may be, he is not completely wasted away." Romain Gary, SI interview
