So, Philip, what does society want? And what does society need?

You ARE just 40, correct? I've known people in their fifties plus who complained less about their age!

Though in the end, except for the teaching, most of what I thought was useful turned out to be a waste of time. But as I've said earlier you can't do engineering by yourself. If society doesn't want new and improved information systems there is no sense sitting inside on a sunny day and building them. LuhrenLoup: With a little imagination it is possible to spend almost any amount of money! Kevin: I do love the handling of road bikes but I just can't get comfortable on them. The posture is too forward and the seats tend to be pretty, uh, hard. The recumbent is like sitting in a living room chair (though very unstable, sadly; an inverted pendulum is more stable if it is longer). Webwench: Perhaps you are really young. When you get old I suspect that you won't be "enamored" of their own aging process. In despair, perhaps. Horrified, certainly. Saddened, definitely.

I've got nothing against the other bikes (okay, maybe that recumbent...), but you do realize that you're missing out on one of the purest joys of cycling, right?

I reviewed my minivan in http://philip.greenspun.com/materialism/cars/sienna in case you're curious. I also have a mtn bike, a cross bike, two folding bikes (mostly for the airplane but they turn out to be fun for all kinds of things (Giant Halfways), and a recumbent bike (sign of age!). I bought a Winnebago motorhome for 8 months of traveling around North American but sold it when we were done. Not easy to park in Cambridge!
