This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I just bought a Raleigh hybrid on Craigslist for $50 and it's now my main rider. It dates from 1999 but it was virtually unridden in all that time and required very little tuneup. As long as you don't feel the need to consume all the modern bicycle total bullshit (e.g. electronic shifters, disc brakes etc.) bikes cost about as much as a nice dinner out.
To be fair, both electronic shifting and disc brakes are substantially better than their old-school counter parts. It's just that both are also wildly expensive and very difficult to do maintenance on (in my experience, at least). They're also hugely over-kill for city bikes. So I guess I mostly agree with you
