Finally… there are more bicycles (7) than kayaks (6) in the weekly edition of the local sporting goods (i.e., bike retail) shop in our town. At least weapons — guns (20) and crossbows (6) — are outnumbered by athletic shoes.

None of the bikes is what you would call a commuter, equipped with lights, fenders… the sort of stuff that someone would have, if they were using a bike to get somewhere, rather than riding in a circle… the sort of stuff that comes standard on cars.
