stimulus package



Sure, I could use 600 bucks just for being an understimulated American consumer.

I'll spend it on updating my porn collection. After all, subsidizing your sex life is a $10 Billion industry - and whats more American than watching other folks get it on?

Or perhaps I'll put it towards the $4745 its costing each individual tax payer to destabilize the Middle East.

Of course, I really shouldn't buy another bike - but you should. What would be better than putting that $600 towards driving less and getting more exercise? I promise that we will in turn use your money to make your neighborhood bike shop better. I will drink more coffee from the Coffee Exchange, buy more vintage clothing from Into the Wardrobe, rent foreign films from Acme Video and stock up on supplies at Adler's Hardware. Each one of these businesses is locally owned by a neighbor and a friend. Get to know them and support them at the same time.

Keep the stimulus local to help arouse the local economy.

We're Back


Happy 2008! In case you have been in a fruitcake hangover for the past two weeks, you may not have noticed that we've been closed for vacation. Now that our batteries are recharged, we're looking forward to our 5th year in business, and we've got some exciting things in store for y'alls. Let's ride more! Let's drive less! Let's eat more sushi! Let's use more exclamation points!!!
