I passed three non-poor people commuting on their bikes this afternoon. It's not unusual to see people on bikes who can't afford cars, but I rarely see the well-heeled riding to and from work, and never three in the same day.
The first guy was leaving the TV station as I passed it. He blew past me on his fancy-shmancy 'cross bike with the rack on back. He tried to say something to me, but I was way too cool to reply (ok, just way too slow to formulate an intelligent reply).
The next guy was riding an old turquois Trek Y-bike in the opposite direction from me. I wasn't sure whether to be happy for him that he was riding, or sad that his bike has the worst suspension design ever.
The third guy was riding with a jogger the wrong way down the street. He may not have been commuting, but he certainly didn't have to be riding the bike.
