I’m old enough to remember when all bicycles were expensive. I can remember, as a boy growing up in the Bronx, my excitement over receiving my first two-wheel bicycle. We took the subway to a warehouse downtown that specialized in bicycles. My first bicycle had no gears and cost around $35; a bike with gears was simply beyond the reach of my family's income. In today's depreciated currency, $35 is about $260. My father worked two jobs to help make ends meet, and even $35 at the time was an enormous sum of money; my parents had to save for a long time to buy me that bicycle.
