I'm just relating my experience - when I was younger, I commuted 20 miles round trip every day, and I worked at a bike shop with weenies that were always trying to shave weight off their bikes, so I did whatever I could to add functional weight (so no filling the tubes with lead, that would be cheating) including building up a dually, two rims side by side on a Sachs 3x7 hub. My average speed was higher when commuting (lots of rolling hills, but overall uphill in the morning, downhill going home) than it was on days off, when I was mainly riding around town where it was flat.

And it certainly wasn't because I wanted to go to work...

"Not worse" is different from "better", how is this a difficult concept?

Luxury. Best we could manage was a paper bag in a septic tank.

barely graduate highschool

Please don't equate a lack of formal education with this shit, in fact they probably did quite well in high school since it's more about conformity than education anyway.

I didn't forget. Deliberate choice.

I'm not sure I agree - I've quit smoking hundreds of times, I've never been able to quit caffeine.

Cars are just catching up to HVAC systems... In the last 3 years I've had to replace both inside and outside fan motors because their (maintenance free) bearings failed.

It's even worse when you have a new-ish car that can handle any size USB stick, but will only load the first 8000 files it sees...
