Numbnuts: "Yeah, i'll take that $1,200 periwinkle-blue Kona, please."
Clerk: "Will that be all for you, sir?"
Numbnuts: "Umm, no. Let's throw in a $20 cable lock, too, please."
Clerk: "Okaaaaay. You know, experts advise that one should spend at least 10-20% of the value of the bike on a lock -- better safe than sorry, you know?"
Numbnuts: "Nah, i'll keep an eye on it."
Clerk: Alright. How about some lights then? Or a free map that shows you better/safer streets to ride down than, say, E. Burnside?"
Numbnuts: "Nah, reflectors are good enough; And i've been driving here for almost 2 years -- I know all the best biking roads. And it's perfectly legal to ride down E. Burnside, by the way -- Ankeny is for pussies and apologists."
Clerk: "Yes, sir. Thank you very much. Have a nice day."
