There Was A Time When:

Bicycles came with fenders (mudguards)
Bicycles came with chainguards
Bicycles came with kickstands
Bicycles came with racks and baskets
Bicycles came with a comfortable seat
Bicycles came with a comfortable upright riding position
Bicycles came with one speed
Bicycles came with three speeds and could be shifted while stopped

Cycling Doesn't Have To Be:

Cycling Doesn't Have To Be Complicated
Cycling Doesn't Have To Be Expensive
Cycling Doesn't Have To Be Uncomfortable
Cycling CAN be done in street clothes!
