Same as you. I think that I may never be able to afford something like the santa cruz blur, etc.
because of my perpetual student nature. So, I make due.

Yeah, well, not all of us can go to Tufts, get our edumacation paid by mom and dad, have 28 sponsors
for the team, have former world cup decathlon/boxing/race car driving/synchronized
swimming/knitting-winning coaches, and afford an SC Blur, all while living at home! 😉

I work as a system developer/project manager/system administraitor at a software company,
unfortunately I also live in one of the most expensive cities in the world in a country which holds
records for its high taxes
- else I'd buy a new bike every year:-)

Me too, though the RN bit is just among a ton of other options. But I've found an unexploited
productivity software market niche that I'm going to try to fill. If I can find someone to take care
of the business side of things, I could well make my way there. Also starting to teach exercise
classes (kickbox & cycling), and waiting for a wildfire dispatch.

I've got a long-in-the-tooth Proflex 2000 that I'll replace when I feel comfortable spending the
bucks, and a year-old Lemond Tourmalet (road) that I love to ride. I could get a new mtb tomorrow,
but that could move bankruptcy closer by two months, so not an option.
