2. I want a bike someday but...
1. I have a neck problem. Riding all scrunched up like those import racing bikes do would require me to drug myself insensate with muscle relaxers afterward.

2. I'm tiny. Really, really tiny. I don't think there's a domestic bike with an upright ride that I could straddle and manage the weight on.

Honda made a couple of little upright commuter bikes back in the 80's that would work. The only domestic bikes I've seen that are sufficiently small to work for me are old enough to be expensive.

3. After seeing the motorcycle accident I saw as a kid, neither.
Something about a man's arm bouncing off your windshield after he lost control and went under a semi's back wheels traumatizes a youngster. :scared:
