An article in today’s New York Times says that there are a few things worth splurging on in a down economy, and specifically mentions a bicycle as a wise investment for all the reasons readers of this blog are familiar with – dayrides with friends, commuting by bike to save money, doing both to become healthier. In any economy I agree with the author’s advice for spending:

“…it’s about investing money tactically in our relationships with one another, building bonds that last beyond ones to any particular employer or a house that we may no longer be able to afford.”

Experiences ‘in the bank’ are riches that one can never lose.
