When I fill up it's over $80 these days :-\
:thumbdn: That sucks. In my truck it is usually $54 or so.

Filling up the Volvo is around $110 here.
Ouch. I guess that partly accounts for the popularity of mopeds/vespas in Europe. Here in the states the "coolest" two wheeled vehicle is considered by many to be a Harley. If I had a full sized bike I would want a reliable modern engine rather than a cool noise. Of course you will never see me wear a Support Your Local Red And White sticker or shirt either.

The past year, one of the branches that does well, because of the crisis, is the bicycle trade. Even in our tiny village we have one now. Bicycles are booming business, not using any fuel at all, and saving on the costs for the gym in the mean time too.
Bicycles are a good idea.

Can you ride a bicycle? I never learned!  :zoinks:
I can actually ride a bicycle and chew gum at the same time.  :2thumbsup:

I tried it a couple of times as a kid and it creeped me out.   :sick:

Thank you! That's because postwhoring neither creeps me out, nor calls for any athleticism!  :laugh:

That's a very weird rationalisation of postwhoring. :laugh:

I bought many things today, but the thing that stands out in my mind is the  tartar sauce!

Now I can have tuna salad the way I like it!  :green:

I move that we close this  thread, because I doubt anyone can top that post.
