I have exactly zero logo bike shirts.
Oh wait...I have one. It promotes my local bike shop, owned by a friend of mine. Who gives me discounts.

You want to rethink that statement a little?

And they will pay you by not raising the price by another dollar.

'Rich' = "anyone making more money than me".

"'In detail we aim to create an urban dual-mode, hybrid flight and electric drive motorized vehicle that fits into sustainable mobility."

Yeah, good luck with that.

There are forces at work to try to pair back public education using nefarious means
